Desperate

Am I holding on too strong?

Or grasping at every chance?

Do I mislead you
or takes things wrong
When I shudder at just a glance?

Do your sweet comments mean nothing

when to me, they bring hopes and dreams

and the scars you leave behind are crushing
my heart and turning me so untrusting
my hate now busting at the seams.

You turn the other way

and another one comes along

I say I won't, not this time, not today
But their words sing a song
and this new hold is strong

God, I feel so desperate!
