Scars and Blossoms

Each soul bears its burdens, each heart hides a scar, I'm laden with failings like stones in a jar. I long that you'll want me and stand by my side, That your gentle presence my sorrows would guide. I'm weary and hollow, the darkness has grown, I wish I had courage to not be alone. Oh, you softly shimmer, so pure and so bright, Like dawn's gentle whisper that banishes night. I'm scarred from past evenings of faltered romance, From hopes that lay broken, from prayers with no chance. Your glow is a blossom that banishes gloom, While I drag these memories that silently loom. I pray you choose me, heal my wounded view, I pray you love me, as I find love in you. Each mind finds a compass, each heart has its truth, Our visions diverge since the days of our youth. We ponder existence—worlds vast and profound, Yet I crave a union where both souls are bound. To stand on one pathway, no longer alone, To break through this silence that chills to the bone. Oh, you softly shimmer, so pure and so bright, Like dawn's gentle whisper that banishes night. I'm scarred from past evenings of faltered romance, From hopes that lay broken, from prayers with no chance. Your glow is a blossom that banishes gloom, While I drag these memories that silently loom. I pray you choose me, heal my wounded view, I pray you love me, as I find love in you. I hope you can teach me the dance of two hearts, To show me what loving together imparts. I hope you'll accept all the flaws that I bring, As we wander through life on one tender string. Come walk by my shoulder, we'll brave every mile, In rivers of passion, we'll learn how to smile. I've never known true love, I've never been sure, I sang to the heavens, my longing so pure. Perhaps what I feel now, this warmth that's so new, Is love gently blooming, unmasked before you. Though you might have shadows you cleverly hide, I fear a swift ending, yet pray you'll abide. Oh, you softly shimmer, so pure and so bright, Like dawn's gentle whisper that banishes night. I'm scarred from past evenings of faltered romance, From hopes that lay broken, from prayers with no chance. Your glow is a blossom that banishes gloom, While I drag these memories that silently loom. I pray you choose me, heal my wounded view, I pray you love me, as I find love in you.
