Baring My Soul

Have you ever wished the day would come
To where you wish your life would cease to exist
Maybe for reasons such as feeling lost or empty
Or maybe because you loaned out your heart knowing you took a risk
I believe I fall into both of those categories
I feel as I'm sitting and staring at myself from a distant shore
I keep hearing myself saying, Oh be still my heart
I know I've helped create every scar, but that shall not happen anymore
I feel as if I'm just a former shell of myself
So hollow and empty, waiting for true love to fill my soul
Someone that would bring back the joy in my life
Someone I couldn't live without because they make me feel whole
I just want to be able to hear the words I love you
And know they come from their heart, not just their lips
I don't want a love that's created because it's convenient
I've done been there and sailed that ship
It took years for me to learn to love myself
There are things I'd still change but I know I'm beautiful on the inside
I've bettered myself and still have a will to live
I just want someone true and honest, to stand with me throughout this life

I think Dementia that you have successfuly condensed many of the
feelings that resonate with those on social networking
that are still looking for that special someone. TY

Thanks countrylady. True love, I believe, is when someone who loves you at your best as well as when you are out your worst. Might just be me though.
