I want to be loved if only to prove it possible
To tell the world that someone saw me as a conquest and came back alive
That above all else I am worthy of the risk and effort
I badly want someone to serve me the evidence that I am also lovable

For too long, I've walked this path alone
A solitary soul, seeking affection in the unknown
But the world can be cold, and hearts can be cruel
Leaving scars on my spirit that seem impossible to heal

Yet deep within me, a flicker of hope remains
A flame that burns, yearning for love's sweet refrain
I long to be seen, truly seen,...
