TENDERHEART

Wandering through an aimless life,
I came across a tender heart
Who made a great impression,
Right from the very start.

I could tell that she once glittered
In a better yesterday,
But invested in those not worthy,
Now the years have quickly slipped away.

Shattered dreams and broken promises
Restarts that will not end.
Searching in a hardened world
For another tender-hearted friend.

A heart of gold, so full of love.
But it's buried deep within
Where others could not see it,
For it fears to love again.

Skeptical now of all around,
Less hopeful day by day.
Tired of chasing rainbows
Falsely put within the way.

I know that path which you have traveled,
For I've made that journey, too
While searching for the tenderheart
That I've finally found in you.
