Where are you now?
when I need someone to catch my tears.
I'm tired of being the one,
that walks out feeling bitter,
with pain echoing inside my hollow core.
When will cupid
stop firing those deceitful arrows
into my world?
The only comfort found
in old love letters,
written by hands
I had placed false trust in,
is they can keep the fires burning
to warm my heart for a little longer.
Please help me god,
my faith in love is waning.
Please don't let it become
a four letter lie.

I can relate, this always seems to be me. I am in love after all and yet, I get nothing from him. I just don't think I can deal with our closesness anymore, or lack of. I am hurting and breaking, I just want him to be in love with me too in the right way, but never. Love is a 4 letter lie.
