Jaded
Someone to hold me tight,
To laugh all through the night,
That’s what I want most in my life,
To be a mother, best friend, and wife.
I want to know
That someone’s always there for me.
I want it to show;
Our love will live forever, unconditionally.
Sometimes I think it was not meant to be,
I was never supposed to be truly happy.
Because everyone I love just walks away;
No one in my life decides to stay.
My heart is full with love to give,
Just waiting for the one.
I want to sing, I want to live,
To dance out in the sun.
I lost a part of me a while ago;
That part stays hidden, I do not show.
I don’t open up so easily,
It takes some time to get to know me.
I’m afraid of getting close
Then getting my heart broken.
This is not the life I chose,
I leave things bottled in.
Sometimes so sad and I don’t know why;
All I want to do is cry.
I can’t forgive those that hurt me,
I just wish that they could only see.
The damage they have done to a child,
So innocent and pure.
Now heartbroken and emotions running wild,
So jaded and insecure.
