For some reason, love is running from me.

I can’t even hear my heart for it beats so silently.

After all I’ve been through, I don’t even care anymore.

Every time I try to love, my heart ends up sore.

Someone told me I shouldn’t look for love.

It’s supposed to be sent from God above.

If it came to me, I don’t even know if I would hear the sound.

It would probably slap me in my face because I feel so down.

Why can’t I find love? I believe it’s running from me I just want to know why.

But for some reason, this is how I feel. If God’s Will one day, I WILL reach the sky.
