How can I love you?

~

I fear what I am

there is a silent sound in my head

my storehouse of all the love I had

has been burnt

all I know about is gone

how can I love you?

I can't afford love

I know what desires are anymore

If I set out to love

I'll be doomed to fail

I am afraid of what I have become

my mind feels foreign to me

I have become a stranger in my thoughts

How can I love you?

I'm on a quest in search of me
