Looking Glass

1ofMyPassions

Turmoil inside me

Locked without a key

wondering what will become of me

 

Not to be loved is more than I can bear

For only you have ever touched that place within

 

Here I am a coward playing pretend

While the world watched over and over again

 

Alone with my secret, no one to tell

Might as well put love back on the shelf

 

Turmoil inside me

Who has the key?

Anyone but me

 

To be loved is just a device

Anyone can buy for a price

 

To love or not to love

Just ask the heart

For only it knows right from the start

 

Turmoil inside me

Let me breathe

Let me know what it is to be free

      'To be loved is just a device
      Anyone can buy for a price'
      (no, my dear
      true love
      you can't Buy, at Any price..
      that where our need for poetry
      stems from,
      in my humble opinion)
      wonderful read, thanks for sharing
