A Withered Mauve

      

I am jaded...

Of the countless ways I let myself drowned into the sea of love

Of gauntness of its promises leaving me like a withered mauve 

Of a thousand years I have waited to see it loom from a flame

Of the foolish times I've been a willing pawn in its cruel game    

But I won't give up...

Until I know it's you I see at the end of the road

Until our hearts speak the same language of the ode 

Until we break free from walls where our feelings are shunned

Until you see happiness as more than a fleeting "fun"
