What do you do when you don’t feel loved?
Do you search for it?
Looking in all the wrong places
Never learning to love yourself first
Expecting yourself to drown in the loneliness
Or perhaps die from thirst?
What do you do when you don’t feel loved?
Do you wish for an end?
Waiting for the day when you’re found dead
Hurt yourself until you don’t feel pain
Always feel as if you are going to faint
You have nothing left to gain
What do you do when you don’t feel loved?
Wait for the lights to go out
Then let tears simply pour out
Are you alone in the dark?
Making everything seem so bleak
Never even bothering to speak
The world is just so obsolete
What do you do when you don’t feel loved?
Do you keep quiet?
Hoping that the silence is enough noise
Hoping for someone to hear those silent cries
Those in the middle of the night when you don’t try
Just hoping you can get by
What do you do when you don’t feel loved?
I don’t do anything
I suffer in silence
I increase the pain
I keep it all contained
I hardly complain
I just feel unloved
That is what we do when we don’t feel loved.
