Underneath

And yet another for the cheating............ so much inspiration from one so undeserving of its products...

Underneath

 

This heart is wracked with scars;

These shoulders too oft have bent.

Hope had faded from my eyes

For I feared my chances spent.

Enveloped by darkness; betrayed to night;

How could Love find me?

Yet hope managed to pierce this veil

And your light has helped me see.

Locks to make jealous the flame,

Passion untamed and wild,

Eyes deeper than the sea,

Wonder and joy to rival a child.

Your voice makes my spirit soar;

Your touch sets me on fire.

My longing, to be where you are

To hold you, my desire.

Your love has freed me from these chains;

For you, my spirit stirs.

Our love shall stand the test of time

For underneath these scars, is a heart forever yours.
