A Lovers Serenade

Petals and thorns

Desperate and lost.

Through the waves you fought.

You swing with all your force.

Muscle pulled and bruised.

Yet, you smile through pain.

The way you do everything is a perfect work of art.

Your life will be a masterpiece.

Others will grow jealous, due to their fascination of you.

Story written behind your eyes.

You captivate and woo.

You're emotions make you who you are.

There's art in all you do.

There's not one thing wrong with you.

So, forget their corroded perspectives.

They can't hold a candle to you.

But who is there to shelter you?

From the chains you placed on your soul.

The scars carved into your heart.

From the reasons you can't rest.

I want for you. . .

To be you, despite them all.

To love on hopefully, for nothing is lost.

To be romantically mysterious, as you've become my muse.

For you know who you are.

So when they all throw roses for you.

I'll be right there.

To protect you from the thorns.

My eternal promise to you.
