ready for love

today began with good intent
it was sure to fill the void
of love long lost in memories
beneath a dream destroyed
but come emotions of dark ages
the nightime drew me in
and with the empty words on pages
i'm all alone again
i'm a failure in my dreaming
never seeing clear
i'm a dreamer falsely feeling
that love is somewhere near
when the mercy of the magnitude
that hope has kept me under
leaves me little to no room
to cope or even wonder
as i break and as i bend
to the shadows i always follow
i soon forget to even remember
all i'm fighting for
if i'm faithful, if i'm strong
if i'm even good enough to love
i'd hope my life would take a turn
to find love soon enough
despite the failure of my days
and my lack of being loved
i'll not give in when future intent
is still not good enough
to prove that i am ready
to prove that i am ready for love
