The Need To Be Loved!!!

My heart aches, it cries, it bleeds,
It has potential to love, it has needs.
My soul is empty, shattered, and torn,
Its all my fault that it carries this scorn.
My mind is full, i don't know which way to turn,
I have cried so much my eyes have started to burn.
Going in this direction, it appears that i am lost,
Running in circles i have paid the cost.
Let me go, or let this be,
Look real hard, and you will find the real me.
The me that loves you,The me inside,
The me thats on my knees forgetting my pride.
I look at you but only see the mask,
That hides the heart that wants it to last.
Its the same heart that wants my love,
But always pushes it away with the same hard shove...
