Music of Love

The sound of tears
crashing on the pillow
echoes  in my ear
As shadows flicker on the wall,
the scent of burning wax
consumes the room
In the background plays
slow tunes of love
and loving and lovers
Yet here  lie all alone
on a soggy pillow
feeling more and more alone
wth each and every passing moment
How do I remedy this situation
knowing that I may never find
the one that is right for me?
The one that will accept me
for all that I am,
irrevocably soiled, yet so pure
the one that my entire being-
mind, body and soul
shall cry out to?
How do I stop the tears
when I have no hope?
S'ppose I'll just lay here
until the tears run out,
the wax burns out,
and I pass out
only to awake to another lonely day
and pray that it will end
more promising than this
As for now,
I'll let the tears roll
and the music of love play on...
