Is it too much to ask?, by Becca R.

Is it too much to ask?

I want to go back to the days

when a love song was just a love song

To when 'I love you’

meant it all

To when the beginning

came with an end

And the title said it all

Why do I live in a world

filled with connotations?

In a world where 'I love you’

is so easily disregarded?

Why is it that our lives never seem to have happy endings?

And people live their lives behind masks

I want to feel safe,

in my own skin

I want to feel loved,

for the real me

Is it too much to ask,

for a storybook ending?

For someone to come rescue me?

(2014)
