My heart is black and blue, broken and bruised.
I struggle against my ties hoping to get loose.
Others hurt and used, leaving me in pain from their abuse.
Yet I have battled myself for so long, only wanting you.
Still I stay, out of sight I sit at bay, secretly in my mind holding an image of your face.
I know I could wait forever, never knowing our place together.
It is the price to be paid for feelings stronger than words can say.
A small price, for time can not separate feelings like this.
Love so pure I would spend eternity for just one kiss.
