Why do I turn away
When someone shows they care
It's been a long time
Since I've
Had the love and care
Of someone being there
Let me love somebody
Let me show them how much I care
Don't leave me
In this loneliness and despair
Tears of my life fall
As I think of what could have been
Fears of my life
Hide away
Untill someone shows they care
Then my nightmare begins
I walk away
Am I so twisted and torn
That I should never have been born
What do I have to do
To heal this heart of stone
Let me love somebody
Let me show them how much I care
Your heart is not made of stone, of this I'm sure. Beautiful poetry, I expect no less from you.
With this and some of your other work, I get the impression that they ought to be performed livee with acoustic guitar? poems after all are songs without music and vice versa?
Such strong emotion here, it kind of tears at one. I have known people like you describe here, and because I am made with a strong desire to be needed and to love, not being able to love and comfort someone is always the worst cross for me to bear, I've found.
Beautiful poem! the emptiness of a heart is sometimes unbearable. but in time love shall find us all. :) spledid write!
Didn't expect this honest introspection...upon reading it, one just want to reach out and smooth away the frown...
I love this poem, I can really relate to everything you wrote. I especially like the lines 'Tears of my life fall' and 'Fears of my life hide away'. Very beautiful.

often the hardest thing to accept is unconditional love.... you write from the heart here... well done!
