Need for love?

Someone looked at me one day and told me how empty and shallow I was I told that person to go away for I do not need advices. Someone told me I am dark and evil and I will never change I told them I do not need to change for I like the way I am . Someone told me I am lonely and I need a mate , a partner that can understand me and feel my pain , someone who can stay by my side no matter what....that person left all by itself leaving me to think about it...does my dark cold heart need love , can it beat again in this chest? Do I need love to live? Or can I just survive?
