Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in my, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24.


A selfless love is all I want,
I'm tired of my greedy ways
I get nothing from my somethings,
Just need the company of a good soul

Being alone so long I think,
Isn't that parallel to heartbreak
But are those thoughts selfish,
or can I really devote myself

There are too many things,
These possessions and achievements
I just want to empty it all out,
Then maybe I'll deserve him

Is this thinking ego-centric,
Or is there someone out there similar
God, please tell me I'll be okay,
I just want to fall in love someday

I sometimes feel like I ask too much from the world and God, and if this is true, I'd rather support just a lover and a family to cherish forever.
