My heart stripped bare
Each day, you make my heart race a long mile,
Yet you've always deprived me of your smile,
Your neglect and your frown work hand in glove,
As if that’s the price I’ve to pay for love.
Each of my words, to your deaf ear they land,
Why don't you want to kiss my shaky hand,
And send a cold thrill down my weakened spine,
So that my life might regain all its shine.
My heart is designed for just only you,
As is the warm blood that runs in me too,
Each strand of my hair declares your beauty,
My heart has turned loving you its duty.
My lungs breathe just the freshness of your world,
All over my face your true love unfurled,
But for how long will I ache for your care,
When your love has stripped my longing heart bare.
