Empty words,a hollow gaze
A heart that's absent,in a loveless daze
He spoke of desires,but not of dreams
His love was a shadow, that brought extremes

He wanted body, but not soul
A fleeting pleasure,was his only goal
No thoughts of tomorrow,no promises to keep
Just a moment's satisfaction,in a loveless sleep

Yearning for connection, for hearts that could be met
But his love was a desert, where only he could eat
She searched for a garden, where love could grow and thrive
But his love was a wilderness, where only he could survive
