Analysis of Desire
Have you ever been so hurt you wouldn't let yourself
Have you ever been so in love you wouldn't let
Can you comprehend a future outside of me?
I can't for me is all I've been and all I'll ever be
I can't comprehend a future with you inside of me
It's an experience I lack but desire longingly
