As For Love...

It hurts It saves It separates and brings together Holds people by an invisible tether

But keep yours away from me Just go away and let me be

Love loves to hate me It shows up and fades away How can I stand to live this way?

Just go and leave me alone A heart of cold and lifeless stone Would be easier to carry

The burden I must bury When you take your love back When you turn on me Tell me that you don’t care

I don’t dare live again I don’t dare die again I don’t dare try again With this cursed love lurking in the shadows

Don’t give it to me I don’t want it I won’t let my heart be haunted By anything that you could do

I’ll just stay inside myself I’ll just die all by myself I might be beside myself Oh yes, I’m definitely falling

The incandescent glowing dark Is easier to bear than a beating heart The contrast here is much to stark How I used to feel

The friends I’ve kept And cherished dear Have chosen Far instead of Near

Sometimes the road one undertakes Others are loath to appreciate Leave me here
