Betting on Love

Sometimes the nights are lonely
Wishing someone was by my side
To warm a cold cold heart
The fire dwindling
The passion now subside
So tired of hearing "I'm lying"
Negative comments left and right
Hoping to drown out the nonsense
With a woman's touch
Someone to hold
A s*xual healing
Something I've long denied
Afraid of karma
Scared of the pain
But men's wild desire
Our lustful nature
So hard to tame
Another need
Has now arise
This one Ms Palmer
Can't satisfy
But who to ask
And a bit shy
It's been a long time
Since a woman was by my side
I think of her
Tears dwell from my tired eyes
Why am I enduring?
A love that I know to be a lie
I tried so hard to be a good person
But like they say 'nice guys finish last'
When will this end
And true love grace these lonely nights
Was hoping she would be my last
But fate has already decide
Written in stone
Living a lonely life
My karma's still due
For broken hearts and my selfish lies
Now I face a tsunami
A wave of vendetta
For past mistake
And bitter sorrow
The innocents I took
All those girls I've made cry
My tears and pain
Paying my debt
The things I've done
Not all proud moments
There's a lot of regrets
Time may make you forgive
But only with love might you forget
Love is still one big bet
And I'm on the losing side

When I thought I no longer need to search
And I've finally found my soul mate
An intervention slaps me
She was too another fake
Honesty and loyalty
Two attribute so hard to come by
In a Capitalist era
Where behind the vail
Greed lurks and hides

As time constantly moving
And grey hair slowly appear on my head
Now I know why they say 'money can't buy you happiness'
Cause even with money
Loneliness still resides
True love an intangible emotion
Even with money you can't buy
Maybe things your happy with
But soon the emptiness returns
Drugs ease reality
I return to living that lie

Very cruel feelings are the scars of lies on love. But soon it will heal,Hieudao and when love maybe a little bit of learning will enlighten you on its journey.. Been there. these words were my exact ones, 6 months ago. I recovered and finally standing up one more time,,,strong and resilient...

Great write and very cathartic..

The truth about the reality of life; sometimes the negative overcomes the positive...I can truly relate...the most precious things in life are priceless and intangible... Deep, dark, cathartic but absolutely awesome write. thumbs up
