I WANT
Orange Jul 2012
I wanted love, but it never met my hand
I wanted peace, but it was short lived
I wanted to be in your arms, but i was powerless to get to you
I wanted to hear with my ears that you'll never leave me
but life has taken you from me
I wanted a home, but instead I have ruins
I wanted the chance but i'll never have it given to me
I wanted life, but life feels like death
I want what I can't have, I seek what I can't find,
and life and people act to stop those wants from happening,
now all I have is myself, empty and alone

Love
Orange Apr 2015
If love be mine then sweetest lips i desire,
to touch my heart in its cold palace
reawaken the embers once burning strong
and cleanse the drink of my tainted chalace.

From my heart an open door erstwhile kept shut,
hidden from mine eye and world,
now beconing thine heart to enter in
and allow my life to be unfurled.

If true love be found though open door,
in certainty already conceived
longing made past, dejection absolved
two lives become eternally cleaved

— The End —
