There is a girl

Who has been crying

So many tears

For a million years

She collects broken hearts

And lines them up

On her shelf as souvenirs



She only asks for a taste

Of amazing love

She would gladly pay the price

Of the moon and sky above



A look into a pair of eyes

A touch deep within her heart

It's all just a very tiny part

Of what she really wants

But it's a start



There?s a man

Standing in the shadows all alone

Cold wet streets, unfriendly faces

This has always been his home



He looks past what you and I can see

It's just a wish at what the future

Could turn out to be.  



He wants to see himself someday

In a beautiful home with a lovely wife

And a child on the way



Coming home to the smell of dinner

A welcome kiss at the door

This is all he asks for

Just this and nothing more



A dog walks against the walls

Of darkened streets

Looking in the corners

For a bite to eat



It's fur is matted

Cold and wet

It howls at the thoughts

It cannot forget



A life not so long ago

With blankets, food and toys

An open door and curiosity

Deafening the sound

Of laughing girls and boys



There are so many faces

In some familiar places

They question their existence

They long to feel what it is to live

If you are stopped and asked

What answer would you give?
