The Pain of Love

This feeling deep inside me
Screams in pain
Sometimes I wonder
"Am I going insane?"
My heart weeps
My eyes swell
I am a lost bird
With no place to dwell
I love someone 
Too much I fear
For my pain goes on
I'm an endless tear
Why must love be 
So bittersweet?
Love should be comforting
Not full of defeat
This dull aching feeling
has lingered on too long
How I wish I knew
Where I belong
