In love alone

There is nothing worse than being in love alone
Everything is a secret and you cannot cry to anyone
Every action that has led me here is of my own doing
I just want to be heard…I cry
Forcing boundaries and responses
I tell myself that now is the time to be free
How can i free myself without giving up on us
How can i choose me and be selfless enough
To love and to hold - all is fair in love and war
I burn for you and so I thought
How can I extinguish this fire and yet remain calm and warm
The more I realise that I have been left standing here
The more I realise that there is nothing worse than being here
