I want love,

Not lust or greed.

I want love,

Want it.. no...need.

A love with spirit,
A blessing of soul.

One day I fear it,
Never reaching this goal.

I want love so wonderful and pure,

I want love so passionate and true,

Like Beast's true love's kiss cure.

Maybe, that could be me and you.

Man with a troubled soul,
Heart worn proudly on his sleeve.

Heartache takes its toll,
Men aren't supposed to grieve.

Man riddled with disgust,
In a world with no trust.

Love...true an utter dust,
Wiped clean and replaced with lust.

Man not always as keen.

Trusting and belief in vein.

Living truth to what has been seen.

Hiding a lifetime of pain.
