"Confused"

Confusion.
I want to crawl away
And hide from you
But I can't.
One day of love, next day of pain,
You speak but I do not hear.
I thought I was in love with you.
You remind me of a broken heart,
Part of a long, forgotten past.
It all rushes forward to grab me,
To take me into it's hold.
If ever I thought I was free,
I was wrong.
I do love you, but to hear of love hurts.
"I love you" was a lie once,
A lie spoken to hold onto something, nothing.
To want, to need, to taste, to feel,
I wish I could've lain in your arms
But the chance is gone.
You say not to regret,
But I do regret, and I am filled with pity.
I swallowed my pride once for you
And I would do it again
Sad, it may be, but true
I once expected you to want me
But there was always someone else.
I want to protect your heart,
But you won't let me.
So go back from where you came,
And leave me to my confusion.
