A Love Song

An innocent heart

Naive and pure

Longs for love's

Eternal glow

To be held

With tenderness

And cherished

With passion's warmth

Throwing caution

To the winds

Begins a journey

Of trust

Believing it has

Found the one

A dance of bliss

Rosy countenance

Frenzied beating

Texting, meeting

A haze of pink

Surrounds everything

Very slowly

Reality dawns

The precious heart

Is pierced with thorns

Thorns of doubt

Ego's might

Reckless words

And nothing is right

The melody sours

Leaving behind

Shattered dreams

A flood of tears
