Tough love

When you look from the outside in
Viewing somebody else's fortune
You wonder what this is all about
Chapter after Chapter of broken promises
 
Searching am I the wrong path
disappointed by failed chances
The Men who have tasted this tough love
The scenarios we have played out together
 
The decadence of two souls
teasing each other from afar
I have swallowed much passion and lust to dry the oceans
Still love seems as far away as ever
Perhaps never to harbour in my heart
 
I live in my toxic head
filled with the debris of my past
I dream of my heart flowing with the beat of my lover
Who is this man who will rescue my sadness
Who is this man who will shelter me from harm.
