Sometimes Love Has Thorns

Sometimes love has thorns
It pricks, it rips You mourn
Your mind is worn Your heart is torn
Waiting for love to be reborn

Surrounded by the flame of my desire
Amidst dancing shades of orange and blue
My soul emits the warmth of a glowing fire
My hearts energy still connected to you

With purpose and passion
We began our new life
Not always in fashion
You made me your wife

There's been laughter and tears 
Throughout multiple years
Some conquered fears
Others that steadfastly adheres

Sometimes love has thorns
It pricks, it rips You mourn
Your mind is worn Your heart is torn
Waiting for love to be reborn

I have seen how love can morph
With nowhere else to go
Emotions that dwindle and dwarf
When couples refuse to grow

How could I ever acknowledge
that age would interject
Remove me from your memory
How could I even suspect

Surrounded by the flame of my desire
My heart is on fire, my head has crashed
Where will I find the love I require
from the man I admire , our children you sired

Sometimes love has thorns
It pricks, it rips You mourn
Your mind is worn Your heart is torn
Waiting for love to be reborn

Mosaic pieces of the puzzle 
from our interlocked past...
Surely that has to be enough to last
Come back to my languished heart
Press the reset button to start

Sometimes love has thorns
It pricks, it rips You mourn
Your mind is worn Your heart is torn
Waiting for love to be reborn
