We don't realise how we lose ourselves in another's eyes.
It's a blind fact to reality, not a compromise.
We sell a big part of us, just to be loved.
To be recognized, it's not enough.
We want love.
So we sell ourselves into this fairytale.
We think life, is great, so we put up our heart for sale.
Usually the first bidders get a piece of us.
Because at that moment we think that love is enough.
To our surprise, we are not smiling anymore.
Because one big piece of our heart, was rotted to the core.
After fighting for so long,
We stopped being so strong.
We gave up on the one thing that we fought so hard for.
We stopped craving for what we didn't need anymore.
That was love,
The long road ahead was rough.
So we started looking elsewhere.
We just didn't care.
We loved, but we lost,
And our hearts paid the cost.
You don't always get what you need.
But you hurt, then you bleed.
From craving what you'll never need.
