Adore me, show my heart your love
Just tear my soul, you gentle dove
Leave me lonely, head in shame
Another loser in this game

Uplifting notes flow from my hands
With words of love, restore these plans
With dire songs to kill the cause
And mellow dirges, bereft of flaws

Oh, you know it all too well
This loveless song, this lifeless hell
For love to leave a hole so wide
A glancing blow, I take in stride

As often as our hearts despair
Bear in mind that love is there
A subtle presence, seldom felt
Lives in friends and won’t be quelled

Ruined a meaningful (yet simple) poem with a weak ending. Hrm. Thanks for reading.
