Nothing To Gain
Is there a chance I may find love somewhere?
Maybe in a place that I have yet to go?
Do I have anything left, within me to share?
It has been so many years, I'm afraid I don't know.
Where to begin, I have been alone so long.
I feel so unsure and out of touch.
Maybe what was once right, is now wrong.
I need to start over, I've forgotten so much.
Is my heart able to love once more?
For years it has known only pain.
I had to protect myself, and shut the door.
I decided then, there was nothing to gain.
I am not sure if I can ever trust another.
I once did, but found that it was misplaced.
To try again, to choose one or the other.
I don't want to revisit, what I have already faced.
I can't allow myself another mistake.
I will never again let love tear me apart.
I believed in a love that proved to be fake.
The memory holds me back, from a new start.
Unable to let my emotions lead the way.
I surround myself with an invisible shield.
Love has too high a price to pay.
My lonely heart still refuses to yield.
