is it too much to ask?

Is it too much to ask

For something real?

For someone

Who communicates how they feel?

Is it too much

To want sincerity?

In a cold, dark world

With all but clarity

Is it too much to ask

For something so simple?

For loyalty

In a time so fickle

Is it too much to ask

For love to be easy?

For trust to be given

Without feeling queasy?

Is it too much to want

Something that lasts?

In a moment so temporary

It goes by too fast

Is it too much to ask

For acceptance of my flaws?

For a love so genuine

It makes you want to pause?

Tell me, is it too much?

Because if so

I'll stop looking for you

I will carry on alone
