My Heart Offers

My heart offers a kinder reflection
Worn proudly on this threadbare sleeve
It still beats for love still beats for you
A little older no wiser
Just a heart of dirty gold

I live every moment in dreamland
Images of laying you down on a bed of roses
Surrounded by burning candles
Seduction should be something tried often
A romantic side seldom seen

Chasing your shadow
Cause that’s all you show
If my light shone on you
Would it reveal all
Or do you keep more secrets

Just show me what you need
Whisper them to my heart
This big red cushion of love
Could become your sanctuary
If you saw me differently
