Hurt.
I carry no lantern for the moon lights my way.
My life's lost all colour but black, white and grey.
I carry no more burdens of yesterday,
I miss not only the good times but also the pain-
for I'd rather be screaming over something you've done,
than to float through my life, unbearably numb.
So I guess that I'm praying, with all that I'm worth,
for someone to love me, even if it hurts.
