How much of my investment went into Oblivion,
all because no one choose to care.
How much of my effort go for nothing,
all because they choose to not love.
How much tears I cried out,
all because my love ones hurt the most,
they don't even know.

Leaving like they don't care,
assuming they love,
acting like they want to show concern,
but deep within all I see is nothing,
but selfishness.

It was a war to free me,
out of the torture only the heart can testify to.
I cried like it was a nature,
I sought out for a moment of love.
I found out to love,
you must first love.
