My creeping life started a new
Yet something was plainly missing
Like a penetrating cut with no sharp pain
Yet I felt a horned pain
A pain I could not control
Tiny somber soldiers surrounding my tender heart
Swords drawn to an unpleasant point
One intense robust beat
I am struck with blazing burn
I thought of no sheer cure
For this dense lifeless plague
Is munching on my concealed emotions
But then I met her
And she brought her rich golden army
I felt saved
Her tiny vivid soldiers of dazing beauty
Broke through my debilitated defense
Strengthening my forceful offense
Bringing to this once stone face
An enduring bright smile
The skies rained supple kindness
The grounds shot up to feel
Making my sheltered heart
Fight back with pure emotion
All it took was this nice pleasant girl
Combining her mind with mine
Linking two hearts to help heal each other
Together we made one truthful army
Toned by friendship and much more
I found what I was missing
