A Lonely Heart Calls

A.M. Morgan
A lonely heart calls out in the night

Searching for Mr. or Mrs. Right.

Trying to find out what true happiness means

Searching for that, which will truly satisfy a lustful dream.

Struggling to find the best,

Caught up in the mentality of never settling for less.

Discounting those with human flaws,

Forcing the innocent to comply with superficial laws.

Judging beauty solely on what's outside

Searching for something meaningful in a shallow world

Constantly saying, "I'm ready for love"

But when a test of true love comes around knocking at the door

The knock is unanswered because it's not quite what you are looking for

Feelings of frustration place restraint on the heart

While emotions are displaced and honesty hides in an unknown place

But the reality is evident and subject to the winds of change

But through it all; a lonely heart still remains
