I wandered like a lost soul on a velvet dark night,
searching for the moon to illuminate my life.
The past came crashing against the shore,
As waves of old memories rose in my mind.
Tears slowly cascaded down my cheeks,
As my eyes yearned for dawn to heal my scars.
Cupid’s golden arrow struck me,
Love overflowed from my frozen heart.
Everything felt right after so long.
As my knight in shining armour was here,
to save me from the dragons.
I felt my hopes rising like the sun in the sky.
As my doubts drifted along the soft clouds.
In the blink of an eye, I had escaped from reality,
To find solace in the world of dreams.
Only to find myself being blinded by the love,
That was never meant to be mine in this lifetime.
