Love me just Once

Strangled twisted roots

Preventing all potential,

Won’t someone give a damn?

Stop me going mental.

Hold me in your arms

Give me some direction,

Shattered fragile mind

Starved of all affection.

Life is just a journey

A long winding road,

Someone please protect me

From the unrelenting cold.

The sky without birds

The sea without fish,

A heart with no beat

Is all that I wish.

I ache to be loved

For someone to care,

What have I done?

To have no one there.

Was I born bad?

My mothers curse,

Tormented and empty

Could I feel any worse?

Pray give me hope

A reason to be,

Free from this pain

Happy with me

.
Love me just once

That’s all I ask,

To face the world

Discarding my mask.
