I am stuck in a love that's unreal,
A source of stress that makes me feel
Like I'm trapped in a prison of my own design,
Bound to someone who isn't really mine.
My heart aches with each passing day,
As I struggle to find my own way
Out of this tangle of false affection,
And escape from the grip of its deception.
I try to move on, to let go and be free,
But this love still has a hold on me,
A grip that's tighter than I can bear,
Leaving me trapped in a world of despair.
I long to break free and find my own path,
To rid myself of this false love's wrath,
And finally find the peace I seek,
Without this stress that's making me weak.
But until that day, I'll soldier on,
Hoping that someday this love will be gone,
And I can finally break free and find my way,
Out of this unreal love that's causing me such dismay.
