My True Lotus

Once before I called someone my lotus
I called them my diamond hiding in the rough
Now I realize she wasn't real
Now I see a lotus for what it truly is
I see the beauty painted before me
As though sent from the heavens on wings of white
You are my lotus flower
My one ray of sunshine in this world of darkness
You who sit on the corner looking so lost in this sea of disappointment
You blaze with light to my pained eyes.

These feelings bubbling beneath the surface
So difficult to interpret with words alone
But try I shall lest I appear to have a heart of stone...

Many times before
I have thought I was in love
But every time...
I have had second thoughts as I began
Yet now my mind is calm and clear
My heart does not quail
My trust in you does not waver

To the rhythm of this song I now write
The words flowing forth from my heart
Reverberating within my soul
Splashing onto this blank page of white
In a vain attempt to give voice to all that rages within
I brush my soul against this paper and it leaves an imprint
It shows its true colours for all to interpret
What does my soul's imprint...
Say to you...
