Beggar of Love

How I long for the tender arms
Around my neck
Like a garland
But there is famine of love
In every place
I look for

I beg for love from door to door
With my empty heart
But no one listens
No one cares

I hide my tears 
In the darkness of night
And I grab my pillow 
To relief the pain of my chest

I hide my sighs 
By turning my face
From others
To ensure no one hurts 
my deepest feelings
