Why can't I make you happy?
I want so badly to make you smile
And yet I
Can't seem to make you want me
The way I want your eyes within me

While I walk alone
Sometimes I see your
Shadow walk near me
And I wonder what it would be like to be
In your arms

Your arms can hold me
Me in spite of myself

While my life seems to be lived in fear of companionship
I still can't stand to be lonley

So I wonder
Why can't I make you love me?
I want so badly to touch you with my heart

But still I
Sit in the darkness
Enveloped in tiresome want
Waiting for just a glimpse of what
Makes me start to cry

I love the way your eyes unknowingly love me
Yet somehow I still feel this emptiness
When I'm in your presence
In my shrouded life's feigned sunshine

So why can't I...
Live for you tomorrow?

Because I can't live for myself
Today

i relate to this all too well. but i have come to the conclusion that i'm not ment to love and no one is ment to love me. loved the poem.

"alone yet unafraid to hurt. i go through every day trying to find my way. where is the light. where is my fight. is this how it ends?"

Oh Spritrider, if only you could know the happiness that can come with sweet sorrow. You must in your heart of hearts believe that someday love is bound to take your breath away. Thank you all for your loving words and I wish to further explore the dark side of love so as I may eventually find the light.
