Love's Light

My well-seasoned heart seeks love's light
Years of heartbreak, thwarted romance
Harrowing each eternal night
A wall flower in life’s last dance

Optimistic wish from years past
Sad thought on which I now reflect
I pray yesterday’s woes won’t last
Prize of love I've yet to collect

True love lost can negate life's joy
I will try to move on once more
Passion between a girl and boy
I seek with absolute rapport

Pity and self-loathing must end
I found true love with my best friend
