Feelings

Feelings, what are they for?
Sure you can be happy at times, but how long does that actually last?
A day, a week, a month, a year?
What happens when the one you love says he loves someone else?
All the joy in the world seems to disappear,
And your heart is left shattered on the floor.
Happiness leaves and darkness enters,
Doubt takes the place of trust,
Nothing ends up feeling the same.
You want to find the happiness that once was.
You go and meet new people but nothing is ever the same.
You fake a smile here and force a laugh there,
You are afraid to open yourself up for fear of being hurt
So no one can truly ever know you
And if they did, would they want to?
One thing after another and you begin to wonder what the point is.
Are you ever meant to meet “The One”?
Is he even real, does he even exist?
Is love something you are meant to have,
Why does it seem to be just out of reach?
Sure you have friends that love you and care for you
But it’s just not the same.
You long for that touch,
You long for the feeling of being held.
Being held by someone that will protect you,
And be there for you.
So you go on and pretend everything is ok
So your friends don’t ask too many questions.
Talking about it is just too hard at times
And the tears just seem to flow like a river.
So you keep to yourself and put on your act
Just to make it through another day.
