Don’t know how to love

Liking somebody, hiding your feelings
standing in between emotions
holding back the words that i desperately want to come out
saying words that will only bring regret later

through all this i suddenly get selfish thoughts of wanting to be loved
i don’t know how to love, but want to be loved

as days pass, and though i am getting older
what should i do with the part of me that still wants to be young?

I love this. It sums up the feeling simply. It’s hell. If you say anything you could lose everything, if you say nothing, you go crazy.

I totally agree. Loving is the ninth circle of hell. Dante’s circle 9, the circle of treachery–defined in Inferno 11 as fraudulent acts between individuals who share special bonds of love and trust. If you say something, you are betraying them. If you say nothing, you are betraying yourself. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
