Love Dont Live Here
LOVE
What is this four letter word
that I neither know nor have heard
Why try when any miniscule piece
of happiness I tried to reach
is pried from my fingers
leaving deadly marks
making me forget how it even felt
To have someone care about me
Sometimes I wish I was free from this body
free from this life
sometimes I fear I won't survive this strife
The devil is always watching me
as if I did something wrong
why is he so attracted to me?
Find someone else to drill a hole into
I am one strong person
to stay a float
when life constantly tosses me under
and supplies no boat
I feel like sinking under and never returning
Cause these burns I endure hurt me everyday
There's always tears present. Always hurt present.
Never PEACE. Never HAPPY. Never LOVE.
What does that mean?
Am I destined to sink.
Cause LOVE don't live here... never did.
