I longed for somebody to love, to touch 

staring blankly at you I realized you didn't want me that much.

It's only a fight when it involves two;

pushing and pulling, it was only me and not you.

I'm holding onto hands no longer clasped 

yearning for a sudden hard grasp. 

Memories of you and I play in my head, 

achingly painful keeping me from bed. 

I knew your sweet words were too good to be true 

yet I still found myself falling for you. 

Empty promises rattle through my ears 

echoing, always clear for me to hear. 

The sight of you, oh once a look so kind

a searing scar now branded on my mind. 

Maybe one day I will be set free 

but for now you have an everlasting hold on me.
