Icarus and the Sun

I was Icarus, desperate to get close to you;
But your warmth was not meant for me;
Now I'm drowning lonely in the sea.

In this world so unpredictably cold, frightening and cruel;
Finding someone caring seemed like a dream;
Our first meeting I did not think much of you, I was a fool;
Now thinking of you makes me want to scream;

Your radiant personality lightened up my days filled with gloom;
Never quite knowing how to approach others, I would rarely talk with you;
Little did I know, getting close to you would be the cause of my doom;
Despite my initial lack of trust, you broke through my walls, which i now rue;

And so began the painful process of letting myself be vulnerable around some;
When opening up, not only did I feel less lonely, I felt accepted by those around me;
A part of me knew it was an illusion, I still fell for it - I stopped feeling numb;
For the first time in my life I have felt this way, it was like flying on an open sky - I felt free;

Like Icarus wanting to reach the sun, I took a fall for you;
Similarly to the Sun - you pushed me away, killing me;
Your recent actions have broken my heart and left me feeling blue;
Maybe intentionally, you do not seem to hear my plea;

All I wanted was to love someone and be loved in return.
