I tried to love another<\/p>\n
But my love failed<\/p>\n
You made me cry<\/p>\n
And I<\/p>\n
Pushed you away.<\/p>\n
Love is the emotion<\/p>\n
That I hate to feel most<\/p>\n
Of all.<\/p>\n
Alone, nestled in my<\/p>\n
Thoughts is where I’d<\/p>\n
Rather be, not<\/p>\n
With another that<\/p>\n
Can see the softer side of me.<\/p>\n
Love makes me cry, which<\/p>\n
I cannot do.<\/p>\n
Love makes a fool of me,<\/p>\n
One I wish to hide.<\/p>\n
Love makes me feel hurt<\/p>\n
When I should feel happy inside.<\/p>\n
I have to share my thoughts<\/p>\n
And my dreams,<\/p>\n
Set them aside to please<\/p>\n
You, that’s something I<\/p>\n
Cannot do<\/p>\n
I’d rather be on my own<\/p>\n
Than to love another.<\/p>\n
Too many of my vulnerabilities exposed<\/p>\n
You can see my weaknesses<\/p>\n
Always used as weapons to hurt<\/p>\n
Me.<\/p>\n
Why bother with exposing myself<\/p>\n
To another?<\/p>\n
To watch me cry, to know<\/p>\n
What causes me emotional<\/p>\n
Breakdowns.<\/p>\n
Lie to me, it never fails<\/p>\n
My heart is a magnet to<\/p>\n
Liars.<\/p>\n
Push my button to set me off,<\/p>\n
It never fails, I would rather<\/p>\n
Be on my own than<\/p>\n
hurt again.<\/p>\n
I am not innocent<\/p>\n
In all of this, for it<\/p>\n
Was I that gave you<\/p>\n
That power over me.<\/p>\n
I’d rather be alone<\/p>\n
Than relinquish myself to<\/p>\n
Another.<\/p>\n
