Best In Retrospect

The problem was
I looked best to him
walking away

My rejection
made him love me more.

It became my tool
to hold on
to him,

because Love does
what it needs to do
to survive.

But now I'm drained
of the Love I need;
in Rejection-making
it dies.

Unreturned

What is love when it's not returned?
What is my affection when it's spurned?
Can a love flourish
When it's not 'us'
When it's just 'me'
Will this love cease to be?
Can a love grow strong
And last long...
When it's one-sided
And it's not mutual, will it not be short sighted
And soon wither and die
But i tell you the truth.... I hold this... I hold my...
My love close, like a beloved child
I nurture this love though I'm given no food
Not from you... Is this good?
And is it right?
Must I sit and continue to love and adore
When I'm given no love in return
And deserted.... left longing for more
I love you darling... now it's your turn.
How shall my love grow?
When there is no fear of rejection-
But certainty of it... How then shall I not go?
And lapse into depression?
When the prospect of failure is all there is
What shall I do?
But nay! I am stubborn, I will continue to love you
I refuse to give up so I guess it's one-sided
But I have hope, even if a fool's hope
That one day I will not lament that my love remains unreturned
But I'll hold you and you'll tell me you love me... FIRST

True Love Never Dies

True love never dies, true love never dies, true love never dies, true love
Never dies, true love never dies, true love never dies, true love never dies
We look like shadows in the streetlight, only me and u a secret rendevouz after
Midnight, they tried to keep us from each other, they crucify our love, say
Were not good enough to be lovers, I want to hold u in the morning, I want to
Wake up by your side, no reason to hide what were feelin, (give me your
Feelin!), I want to tell the world about it, tell them all the truth, get up on
The rooftops and shout it, true love never dies, true love never dies,true love
Never dies (repeat to fade)

Seed That Begins the Bitter Fuming

Too many of you love,
The wrong ones.
Too many of you love,
The concept and fun.

And too many of you love,
The wrong things done.
By those who upset...
A welcoming that is regretted.

And that rejection one has met...
Is a seed that begins the bitter fuming,
Between the making of enemies...
Terrorists and psychological diseases.

Pretension is not rejection

Don’t lie that you don’t love me.
Even if you do so, you are my love.
Don’t deny that you love me.
Even if you do so, you are my love.
Don’t betray you didn’t love me.
Even if you do so, you are my love.
Pretension is not rejection.

Necessity.

Sometimes love dies of sheer neglect.
Love's not always as we expect.
Because we are less than perfect.
Love sometimes dies.

Love can survive eternally.
Although some choose to disagree.
But I believe the truth to be
Love can survive.

Love is a gift it can't be bought.
Love brings the happiness we sought.
Love offers absolute support
Love is a gift.

We fall in love because we must.
In time we learn we can adjust
Progressing into love from lust
We fall in love.

We all seek love, instinctively.
Without love we could never be.
Capable of living happily
We all seek love.

The Art Of Rejection

There is an Art to 'rejection'

First they 'hook you in'

With tales of love and words of 'I love you'

The sugary sweet pill of flattery

Of making coral shine from broken shells

Knowing all to well

Such fragile beauty

Could not bear the lightening breakers

Mountain storms

Until tempest tossed

You lie on stony shores

Bone on bone

salt ravished flesh

Your dry lung cannot breath without the 'other'

There is an 'Art to rejection'

First they hook you in

with soft bait

And looks that catches your approval

Knowing your fragile beauty

Cannot withstand

The windswept mouth of deserts

The hundred clasping hands and tiny mouths

That drink you dry

Until

Bone on bone you lie

True Love

For those unlucky in love
In your feelin' of sadness
and forlon,
Love songs will always be
wrong
That feelin' of dejection in
your hurt;
Courtship and your the period
of friendship,
The feelin' you can't survive
without that companionship
Had been created for a reason.
Until the true meaning is found
Your heart, love will always
confound.
The feelin' of love in itself
is deception.
You cry, and you feel you
will die in your moment
of rejection.
True love is found in the divine
The truth is not so hard to find
It had been created for our
own design.

Still

My heart cried out to for you over an ocean
And your pain cried out for me across a wave
You hid half dead, numb to any emotion
'Cause you were a prisoner and I was your slave
We both stopped searching for any acceptance
And rejection always was our bitter pill
'Cause I have no precious gifts to give you
Only have four words; darling I love you
I love you still
I never thought someone would ever see
Or make a prisoner of my heart
But like a warrior dressed in armor
You carved your name in it right from the start
You held my sould a hostage
In your tower on the hill
And all I prayed for when I sleep
Or lay awake, is that you love me still
My heart cried out to for you over an ocean
And your pain cried out for me across a wave
'Cause we hid half dead, numb to any emotion
Now you are my prisoner and I am your slave
We both stopped searching for any acceptance
And rejection had always been our bitter pill
And I have no precious gifts to give you
Oh, I only have these words; darling I love you
I love you still
Oh baby I love you, I love you still
[I love you still, I love you still]
Whoa, baby I love you, oh still
[I love you still, I love you still]
Baby I love you, oh still
[I love you still, I love you still]
Baby I love you, oh still
[I love you still, I love you still]
Baby I love you, still
[I love you still, I love you still]
Baby I love you, oh still
[I love you still, I love you still]
Oh baby I love you still
[I love you still, I love you still]
Still
[I love you still, I love you still]
Still
[Still, I love you still, I love you still]
[Still, I love you still]
[Still, I love you still, I love y

If I Told You I Love You

If I told you I love you
What would you think?
Would you say you love me too?
Or that we're too young?
Would you hold me to you
And kiss away my fears of rejection?
Would you melt my inhibitions
With gentle touches of love
In places no-one's ever been?
Would you reassure me
Of reciprocation of my love?
Or would you spurn me?
Would you turn away from me?
Would you decide that you don't want
Someone who loves too easily?
Would our two month, three month anniversary
Be the anniversary of the end?
Or would we last?
In a world of make believe and fantasy
You'd be the one to take me all the way
My first, and in my dreams my last.

Love Has A Hold On Me

I have found a perfect mystery
Love has a hold on me
Long before my life had come to be
Love had a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
Where do I come from
Where does life mean
Is it not to know the one who made me
As Im looking down the road ahead
Love has a hold on me
Someday when I breathe my dying breath
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
Where will I go
When this life is through
Back into the light that made me and you
Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
I dont have answers to all the questions
Running inside of my mind
But I cant help believe that
Understanding comes in time
Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
If I run, if I hide, I know inside
Your love has a hold on me
Tell me yes, tell me no, my heart will follow
Your love has a hold on me
If I run, if I hide
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Hold on me

I Dont Mind If You Forget Me

I dont mind
I dont mind if you forget me
Having learned my lesson
I never left an impression on anyone
So now you send me your hardened regards
When once youd send me love
Sincerely I must tell you
Your mild best wishes
They make me suspicious
I dont mind
I dont mind if you forget me
Having learned my lesson
I never left an impression on anyone
The pressure to change, to move on
Was strange
And very strong
So this is why I tell you
I really do understand
Bye bye
I dont mind if you forget me
No no no no no no no
You can only be strong for so long
It may not eat you but it will beat you
So this is why I tell you
I really dont understand
This time
Rejection is one thing
But rejection from a fool
Is cruel
Rejection is one thing
But rejection from a fool
Is cruel
And I dont mind if you forget me
I dont mind if you forget me
