Romance Novel
We live in a romance novel, one with misery and dread
Where thoughts come to perform in our twisted heads
View and suspicion, leaving us dead
A vacant shell of what life we once led
Lost in the shadows, once alone and so cold
Looking for love, weeping for someone to hold
Like roses wandering down to the snow
Lying like blood on the cobble stones
Beneath the darkness of the light moon
I lay and hear a howling tune
Carried to my ear by the sorrowing wind
Listening to it I find I am again
I hear a voice so soft and so sweet
It carries to me a vision of mi petit
My love, my one and only
Kissing you through my dreams, we’ll no longer be lonely
I sleep my life away in the day
So that at night you can come to play
And I will be within your arms
If you will have me as your girl
No longer do I find this story sick
And my life I feel is no more a wreck
With you besides me in my heart
And promising that we’ll never be apart
I say today to whisper here
We live in a romance novel
This time without the tears
Of you and me falling free
I am yours, and you are all I need
