Not The First Love

Stuck in the ache

Of the first love

Affection with no charm

Beauty only in the face,

Hearts all forge and fake.

Found a dazzling light,

Beliefs of loving so hard again

When I thought you'd be

Yet a sigh of pain

Discovered my ecstasy in your sight.

All the solitary times.

With the rusting corroding bones

When I thought this newness would

Make me yet this time alone 

Got my complement in your eyes.

My dusky spirit ablazing

Cold carcass ceased to reincarnate 

When I thought the scarred me 

Wouldn't overcome the destined fate

Found you as a pleasant river calming

My ashes.

'Cause when I thought I'll never find

A love again to call him mine.

Got a reason and a man

To love, and to live with

For a whole lifetime.
