To Love



To love is to hate to hate is to hurt,
My thoughts of you, always ends with a but,
I hate to be honest I really am scared
Will you like my flaws are you that prepared.

I cry when am lonely
Feel sad when you hold me
Can't express my feelings
It's killing me slowly.

Am sorry I hurt you
I Don't really trust you
Should I write a list
Of things you expect

Can't take a leap
I try to decide
I will wait for tomorrow
To play with my pride.

As empty as ever
A vessel forever
Can't hurt you and love you
This distance is better.
