A guiltless heart searching for someone,

Tired of being alone when the day is done,

Aimlessly it drifts through the night,

Unfortunately, there is none in near sight,

Tired of living a life of strife and worry,

And dying for its past to be buried,

It wanders through the nights and days with nothing hope,

To find something or someone who could help it to cope,

Shedding tears of regret and pain,

How can it live such a life remains unexplained

Longing for another's touch and care,

Desire for its abundant love to be shared,

Drives this lonesome heart, pushing it forward in its mission,

Inducing it with heaven sent passion,

Acceptance is another this heart lacks,

All it wants is a pat on the back,

Flawed is the heart just like us all,

It too longs for love's first call,

Looking heaven-wards the poor heart cries,

Watching as a rose is placed in his cold hands through blurry eyes,

Another heart like this one sits beside him with arms wide open and a pretty smile,

The thankful heart can do nothing but cry,

His prayer had been answered........love bade him to open his eyes,

As he holds her hand he realizes the time has now come for him to collect his prize.
