But that was so hard for her

Seeing as she didn't know exactly what love was

But was that really it?

Was that really her downfall?

For the world is very twisted

Some lessons teach us the wrong habits 

Because her heart was full of love

Overflowing

So much so 

But wait

Why is she so alone

When her heart contains everything the world craves

Well

Because no one loved her

The way she could love

She hid the love

Suppressed the love

That boiled and erupted from her heart

She decided that it wasn't there

Others told her that she was incapable

She was convinced she had a heart of stone

And then it became just that

Cold

Dead

Numb

All she needed

Was someone to fall

To fall for the way her face was never absent of a smile

The way her green eyes shined in the sunlight

The way her body curved when she was uncovered

The way her mind danced and explored the world

The way her heart had the capacity to do such amazing and wonderful things

And you're telling me that I don't love myself?

Please

I knew how to love

But the world teaches hate

I thought I was different

But it was the world who should be behind the gate

Compacting, denying the love killed me

Shutting down my heart, shut down my life

Depression, eating disorder, suicidal thoughts

All because I let you lead me to believe that my love was not normal

Tell me that I need to love myself

Tell me that I need to be independent

But listen to me

I am suffocating, starving, dying

Because I need a heart to love me back

I need a heart to love

I need a mind to love

I need a body to love

Because I don't need another to complete me

I need another to pour my love out on

Because my hearts about to burst

And boy do I hope that you've learned

To turn off the hate

To replenish the love

Because in this life

You either love 

Or you're dead
