Romantic distance

I rip out my heart for you to have and to hold

Does it feel cold?

This pound of flesh it’s all I have.

 I have already given you my soul

Which hangs in the corner of your bedroom

This gloom won’t shift, this love would have been a gift

But for the romantic distance between us

We may talk dirty in our minds

But the shutters the blinds are down covering our eyes

Love is blind so they say

An empty childless prayer

Sworn in the dark

I need a spark for a flame

To ignite the passionate fire again

But I need to know do you feel the same?
