Love

Love, A feeling I thought I was capable of keeping Yet when I get it, It fades. I put on a masquerade Hoping things would change Everything I say a facade I've lost the meaning of love I thought I found the one, The other half of me But I get pushed to the back Set up on a rack Just to be looked at Never a prize, Always a possession Maybe this is just an obsession To the feeling, I can never get right I put up a fight It’s always the worst at night. I blame my mind, The dark space where I go When I’m feeling all alone I’ve tried to forget the smell of his cologne It’s engraved in my mind The look in his eyes I try to improvise This mask that I wear, I’ll never see clear Through this obsession Did I forget to mention That love for me is no progression
