Broken Hearted

What could make a world so cold That it prevents a heart from being bold Strip it down, so it can be bought and sold Love conquers all, or so we are told The heart was surrounded by fences Tearing them down, you left me defenseless Your eyes leave me in trances Riddling my soul like ancient sphinxes Like a garden of vibrant roses Your beauty explodes like a thousand novas As a phoenix rises from smoldering ashes You lifted me above lifeless corpses Out of a perfect dream, I suddenly awoke From my chest poured a horrid smoke As everything good began to choke I realized my heart finally broke Dropping to the floor and starting to crawl In every direction an impassable wall Your name I'd desperately call Doesn't Love conquer all?
