A Day In The Life Of A Hopeless Romantic

I seek love behind the scenes,

For it’s the only view that plays.

Sitting here on a soggy wet bench,

I watch the passing days.

Hoping a day I get kissed on the cheeks

From a man in my dreams.

With breath that smells of lilacs,

And hands I shall hold on my darkest days.

A shirt he won’t mind covered in my tears,

Every inch of his tender skin will be stained

Of my cherry-red lip gloss.
