Beauty and life is jubilant at every sight But I seem to be discontent My hasty heart is empty searching to reign supreme in the first lover's eyes I meet An affectionate gaze is all I need to extinguish this insatiable grief So I observe patiently with lingering love coursing through my sanguine blood But I feel as though potential lovers perceive me as a facade Merely passing through me like an apathetic mirage I try to captivate them with enchanting words But they flutter and dissolve without a magnitude of concern Leaving me feeling as blank as these walls, wishing to transpire into an alluring waterfall Inanimate and free No more lost causes and awkward pauses Just a flowing force careening with no set course But instead I'm lost dreaming with my pen Wishing, hoping, the courage of love will let me in
