So what's another broken heart
to add to the many i already have
i've been through this all before
it gets harder each time
cursed to my lonesome path i am
the solitary road i've walked for years
some they walk with me
and then vanish into the mist
as quickly as they come they're gone
i dream of a love i can have for all time
i try to grab it, to make it mine
but it slips through my fingers
just like all the times before
my heart is a wound bleeding in my chest
the scars of lost loves never fade
i want to be whole but i keep getting broken
why do i bother anymore
why do i even try
i decieve myself into believing
"this time surely it's for real"
only to be shattered once again
i see their faces in my sleep
mocking my anguish
leaving me to bleed
i can't keep doing this
i can't keep hoping
my heart is jaded
my brain on fire with the flames of dead love

Nice writing...reminds me of a thought that I was telling my friend today....the thought is, once we decide that we want a close relationship, we try to make the one we're with the object of our affection, on that level...the problem is, most of those we meet are meant to be friends, and nothing more.  So we set ourselves up for disappointment by thinking that they are the one...James

There is a lot to what James says.  Still, its that affection we strive for...

The title is "dead love" but I wonder...

   enjoyed reminiscing with you,
