My Heart Melted Like Butter

My broken heart melted like butter
when the heat of your love hit me.
My soal soared out of the gory gutter
where my ex pretender plunged me.

Lead me to the pinacle of your heart
where life and love beam sweet rays...
Rid me of the pains that tore me apart, 
and let your desires drench my days.

I used to love for the wrong reasons;
lured by fair faces and fluffy figures...
I was taught bittersweet lessons...
till you offered me timeless treasures. 

My broken heart melted like butter...
when your sun crept into my room...
You saved me from a cruel clutter
and gave me glow for my gloom.
