Love Lost

Here you come again,
With your eyes a gleam.
I don't think you really know
What you do to me.

I long for your embrace,
Although I may never feel it again.
I will keep searching for this:
A dream I can not attain.

Every time I get close
You push me away.
When I want to give up
You ask me to stay.

Why must you torture me
In such a time of need?
All I ask for is affection,
But my insecurity is all you feed.

I feel like I should run,
But something keeps me here.
Is happiness so far out of reach
That I only return out of fear?
