"just Once"
"Just Once"
what I've learned in life is this
love is really just a game
it's wanting and desire
but not acting as if
just once I wish
I didn't associate love with pain
just once I wish
love wasn't about playing some head games
just once I wish
the person I wanted, wanted me too
and it was a possibility
something that could come true
I keep going back and forth
to whether it's you that I want
I keep going back and forth
to whether it's me that you want
all the love I've known
have always been accompanied by hurt
all love that I was shown
always eventually seems to convert
longing into spite
desire fills with pride
causing more heartache and grief
leaving love to subside
no longer do I have the strength
to forever endure
no longer do I have the will
as my life's now a blur
of instances and memories
I wish I could put away
locked in a chest and
finally left at bay
