Him, Her, and I

Can't I get a break?
This isn't something I can fake
Always offering my heart
Then getting it torn a part
It wasn't fate
It's too late
I'm not very patient
I feel I'm getting ancient
So often being blue
All of this is true
This never happened to me
Why can't I be set free
Being crushed by love
I want to be a dove
So I can fly away
Any day
But I'm not
My heart's all I got
Inside dying
Outside crying
What have I got to lose?
Living everyday on cruise
I keep giving him my all
But he's scared he's going to fall
Off a cliff of joy
Such a silly boy
Falling into the pit of despair?
My intelligent man, you're already there
My silly boy, you need to be smart
For I would never toy with your beautiful heart
I keep pouring and pouring my love and affection
But all I receive is stone cold rejection
Nothing from him
I'm out on a limb
Grasping for a hand
I just want him to understand
She doesn't want you
The way that I do
I know he wants her
That's who he'd prefer
So here I am stuck
Without any luck
It's not like he hears
The sobbing and tears
That I always hide
Keep it all inside
All this emotion
Causes such a commotion
And I don't know how to cope
I might as well dangle from a rope
Or ruby my wrists
With clenched white fists
Are you still scared of dropping
Tumbling off the edge without stopping?
My dear boy, can't you hear?
You have absolutely nothing to fear
All I want is your care,
Your endearment, your loving stare
I will hold your core
Til I am no more
I'll caress your soul
Until mine goes
Kiss your lips
Until my life flips
But it's completely unfair
Simply because you have no love to spare
