“Something I Can Never Have”


Love.  Grace.  Somebody who shares.
Help.  Truth.  Somebody who cares.
Someone that will stand by my side.
Someone that will give me my pride.
Someone I can let my love glide.
But this cruel world makes me go hide.
It’s an element I need to have,
but it’s something I can never have.

Happiness.  To get love, I must.
Honestness.  Someone I can trust.
Someone that will be nice to me.
And make the man I need to be.
Someone that will set my life free.
But I don’t have this around me.
It’s an element I need to have.
It is something I can never have.

Engagement.  More than friendship.
Marriage.  A relationship.
Someone by my side forever.
And live through this life forever.
Someone who will leave me never.
But I’ll never get this ever.
It’s a missing link I need to have.
but it’s something I will never have.

It’s an element I’ll never see.
I wish that it would happen to me.
Love is the thing that I truely need to have.
It is also something I can never have.

Pain.  Fear.  Lots of misery.
Lies.  Tears.  Love, I’ll never see.
I will always suffer the pain.
And live life forever in vain.
Going through life in the wrong lane.
Just because love isn’t my gain.
Love’s the element I need to have.
And it’s something I will never have.

My life is nothing.
Especially with love I’ll never have.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have.
