The Failure in Love

Looking forward to the future, what do I see ?
I can only see the same old me.
Scared, naive and stupid to begin with,
devoid of love, can't even come close to it.

I know that things won't change,
because I have refused to act.
some things are not in our range,
and we have to accept that fact.

For all the richness that I might have,
I will always remain poor in love.
I can't even speak confidently,
forget about protecting her with a shove.

For all the gifts that we have received,
there will always be some which we will crave.
Envious and depressed is what I have become,
with increasing jealousy, digging my own grave.
