I Have Loved

I have loved

And I have lost

I have loved and when it was gone, all it left was a void

I have loved and been loved back

I have loved and gotten nothing back

A thousand times I swore

Never again would I fight this war

This struggle between emotion and reason

But empty words they were, only for a season

My head screams at my heart, "Treason!"

My heart cries, "This is who I am!"

"The mark of a traitor I would gladly bear for this reason"

Now a star adorns my nights

Once again a reason to fight

Hands stretched out

Barely able to touch your light

Give me a chance

Give me your heart

And I promise I'll never break your heart

I love you
