Hopeless Romantic Number 9

Too long I limped along a lonely road, born into this Sahara desert of a life, parched and hungry, face weathered and gaunt. A deaf, dumb, and blind man, drawn and quartered by her knife, back tarred and feathered by a vulture's taunt. I searched the wide world for your wonderful smile, tired soul devoid of that whole, found wanting of the other half. Try to find the right words, after each lost and lonely mile, my sorrows washed away by that sweet, infectious laugh. Like hopeless romantic's lot, who climbed out of a dark place, beyond my wildest dreams, I finally found you. Yet daft was I to hear not., your prayer for love's embrace.. as two hearts lifted in love were bound to. When last moon fades, no more hopeless romantics left, and strings of sanguine hearts untwine. I will hold on to memory's tender touch yet, and all the warm days when you were mine.
