My body is aching,
My heart is breaking,
My soul is bursting into flames,
So I hide my face in shame.
You play this sick game,
And wonder why I'm in pain.
I'm too weak.
I can not sleep.
I'm loving you in vain.

You squeeze me,
You tease me,
But your heart is elsewhere.
This pain I can not bare.
Thius treatment is unfair.
But you don't care.
I wont be alive to see tomorrow.
But wont be engulped in this sorrow.
I'm loving you in vain.

I wrote this because I love a girl, but she didn't love me. She only used me to get to my friend.
