Alone in the Desert of Love

Three hundred years ago I first saw her face

She drew me in and made me believe that I could fly

The dream she instilled in my heart cast a net around my heart

My entire world was hers now

Every thought was of the life we would have

No woman in the world mattered to me except her

She promised to forever be mine and made me promise the same

I knew without a doubt that our hearts were woven together

Before the foundation of the world, we were meant to be

…I responded absolutely yes



The thunder clapped and the lightening flashed

A deadly storm arose and dashed my heart to the cold ground

Her words had forever crushed my soul

On that day I promised myself that I would never love again

Ever since, I’ve wandered through many desert lands

Never again had I met anyone who could make me believe I could fly

I went day to day chasing mirage after mirage

…until possibly today


Though she’s beyond my reach and lives in a foreign land

I should have waited for someone who made me believe

Rather than wrap my life up in to women who barely filled the void

I swore I could never love again

Now I’m questioning whether or not that was true

…now that it’s too late



Her eyes of green sparkle and hold deep untold reflections

Forever they will haunt my heart of what I possibly could have had

I contemplate if maybe I should just throw away the life I've built and start anew

...if only
