How am I supposed to love
when I gave all my love to a boy who did not appreciate me?
How am I supposed to love
when everyone around me seems to be scared of commitment?
How am I supposed to love
when I am no longer surprised at being filled with false hope?
How am I supposed to love
when  can’t fully trust anyone anymore to give them all of me?
How am I supposed to love
when I get let down time and time again?
How am I supposed to love
when I see scenario after scenario of lovers being unloyal to one another?

Yet somehow,
love is all I want
and all I continue to search for.
