A heart which yearns to reach out and hold you
A heart which burns to grasp you and touch you
A heart which is so full of you, it flows over brim
A heart which is so laden with your spirit, it throbs
A heart which vibrates so with your touch, it sings
A heart which is immersed so in your soul, it flys
A heart which shakes so with tremors of excitement
at the thought of having you near, it swells with pride
A heart so infused by your life-blood, it pumps out
Song after song of yearning amidst pain of its loss
A heart so pure in its love for you, its cries of pain
Torments it so in its raptures, it stumbles and falls
A heart so emblazoned with marks you placed there
It shows the mural you painted on it to the world
A heart so taken by you, it held nothing back
A heart so completely in awe of you, it's now black ...
