desire

What I truly want

But the past continues to haunt

A family of my own

Why do I always end up alone?

I wish the memories would just vanish

And this pain and torment banish

A love that is true and pure

Could my loneliness and fears cure

Happiness and love

To be free of the mourning dove

Waiting so long

Continuously strong

But in my heart I am weak

Comfort, love, and loyalty I seek

Someone to break this spell in under

The innocence taken plunder

A feeling of peace and acceptance

To cover over my fearful resistance

The retentions I cannot seem to erase

But wanting a passion to replace

I don't desire to efface the lessons learned

For my place in life would not have been earned

But these flashbacks return

A harsh reminder without concern

Breaking down my resolve to continue

And tears and fears ensure

So tired of feeling scared

And lookin ever so despaired

When I feel so fragile

Will you hold me and be agile?

Will you realize

With amorous eyes

That I don't need to ever cease

But to put these frights to peace

Please accept my heart and establish it whole

Take these pieces and console

I will dedicate to you my all

If you just promise to never play me like a doll

I don't hope for a perfect relationship

Just a veracious and reliable partnership

Will you take a moment

Just a moment to allow these thoughts to pass

To attain great achievement

And I will forever be your faithful lass.
