hearts broken
on the floor
shattered, destroyed
the will love no more
cruel games
their lovers played
with a smile
from their vows they strayed
a tender touch
a softer kiss
no such luck
their love was a miss
walking through
this room of misery
trying to avoid
the catching dreary
seraching for a love
that will last
searching for one
whose vows will hold fast
does such a love
exist on this earth?
or are we all searching
for one who will give birth
to a new kind of love?
