Ballad

How much is needed to destroy
This dilemma that tortures me
At night? Does not give me joy
Nor does it give me glee.

I enclose myself and drain
My dreams, why do I need them?
They only cause me pain,
If only I was just a stem.

If I knew myself I would as well
Turn my head and feel lament
They say that love swells
And I feel torment.

I never understood how
To prevent that feeling
That breaks my vow
When you’re not here.

And so together age,
But I couldn’t make you happy
 And so I turn the page
And leave unhappy.

  1. I've felt this kind of love leaving me in the dust too. It was a strugle but I found someone to make me happy and I'm 135% positive that you will find a love that is as true to you as you are to it.
