This

Striking my heart strings 

In such a way

Brings such hope

For joy to stay

Casting eyes 

Cloaked in jest

But you know I want

You the best

I love you, I love you!

I long to say

Bridled and silent

I can not play

Ripped and torn 

Inside my chest

Tear off pretence

And me undress

Say you love me

Say you do

All I’ve ever wanted

Was you.
