Love Won't Work

She has tied me down
And nailed me to a cross
But I forgive you girl
You don't know what you're doing
My love is hiding in plain sight
But you don't see,no

I tried to scream
I tried everything,to get you to want me
But I forgive you girl
You're a child of the town
White pale skin wrapped around me
But the lightning won't come
Your love is spread,not enough for me

Love won't work
You only laugh as you give me the wine
The earth may shake,the heavens may thunder
But you'll never be mine

I had a dream
You've seen the light
Only to be put out
By the end of the night
Yeah

She'll only love
When she's not wanted
I forgive you girl
You're a child of the town
How lying eyes shine in the madness
She'll get enough when she's learned
But please don't get hurt again,no

    Being hurt by not being wanted is one of the worst heart pains for me. you captured this well in the emotional level I was looking for. Thank you so much for entering my contest

    Very powerful words... Love holds no boundaries, which is unfortunate in certain circumstances... It's pretty sad this poem actually, love never returned, but forgive the person non the less because they love them so much... And will pick them up when they fall. Thanks for sharing and good luck!

    awesome

    I can really relate to this song. I'm interested as to what tune it goes too. I loved it. Great job!

    Very, very true. Especially in cases of my life; but thats another story. Great write. I love the emotions in this. Nice job on the descriptive words also. Good luck in the contest.
