When it comes to stuff, like love and trust
I never seem to give enough
I’m scared to give and not receive
I’m afraid I’ll give and then you’ll leave
I just want to be loved, like everyone does
And I’m not really sure what the cause of it was
But I built up this wall, one on each side
But this desire to be wanted won’t seem to subside
It’s a fact that I’m trapped in this box I have built
I’m one minute from drowning in this pool of my guilt
For having gone so long without sharing my heart
I had stopped loving; now I’m ready to start
But I can’t find nobody who will give me a chance
So far from my goal and can’t seem to advance
I’ve committed an internal suicide
The fact that I’m lonely just can’t be denied
It’s like I have fallen and I can not get up
All hope has been tainted when I emptied my cup
And now I lay here helpless, feeling empty inside
Feeling love is intangible, because desperately I tried
To touch it, but just when it was at my fingertip
It moved from my reach and I couldn’t get a grip
I just can’t understand, it was right by my hand
This journey for love is not like how I planned
I’m tired of running and chasing, I can’t take it no more
I feel I was better off in my box like before
I’m not sure what may be just around the bend
But I long for the comfort of those four walls again
I may build another, but this time with a door
So that I won’t be stuck if I again decide to explore
 
the power of love and it's pain of stress
that will make anyone explore & confess
find comfort and happiness it can twist
and turn make a heart feel and yearn it
can be destructional and greed love is
no simple thing .....
Tyte write love the flow indeed as u know...
