you could not be loved

You could not be loved
The way you want to be loved

You have traversed many a hard path that left you cold when touched

Love shudders a shuttered heart that's accustomed to anguish

It has bittered but withered on light of Sunshine, forsaken to languish

Romance cloaked as love left gullible souls with no chance

Now believing pain is a heartbreaker's condign comeuppance

You could not be loved the way you want to be loved

You are attracted to pain that's chained your heart to an eternal hug

Light blinds you and frightens you with its power to heal
Love could not flow from a heart covered with weal

You have been everywhere
But you haven't been yourself

 A moth to a flame, pulled towards what's  toxic to your health

You could not be happy, and be taken care off

Hell's fire stirs your soul
Losing control when tempers flared up

I stood here all the time being the same, shooting off love's flame

You could not be loved
You Drifted away yearning for more pain

You could not see it
You are empty of yourself

 You could not be loved
 No one else could help
