My empty heart for so long

Fearful to ever beat strong

Seeming to always fill of echoes

Of love lost and in repose.

Dreams of a wondrous lover,

In my mind’s eye do hover,

A man shining with love’s light

Loving arms to hold me tight.

Honest, trustworthy, and loyal

Make me feel as a princess royal

Gazing into his eyes

Seeing my soul therein lies.

Hearing whispers of romance

My body is in a trance

Kisses rain ever so gently

Blood pounding so intently.

Awakening with a shiver

Passion fire like a river

Dying out like the wind

My heart empty, once again.
