Love Mends the Withered Heart

Shadows glide over deepest remembrance

Forgotten longings stir the bones

Hope springs within a barren breast

Dreams, once dead, arise within a sallow mind

Stirring it and all its deadened passions

Awakening a lost faith within

Life beckons like the glance of a lover

Torn heart, battered soul no more

Despair no longer a confidante

Beauty shines through darkened glass

Lost whispers dance across shattered pain

Time unfolds, revealing hidden youth

Love has come like a bridegroom

Claiming what was forever lost

Daring the heart to beat once more
