Melt

Like the tin soldier who loved
Such a graceful ballerina
I saw a dancer beckon
We danced upon the mantle
While others laugh like hyenas
Her arms were my heaven
Sorrows no longer tormented
Nor tangled
What have I found now
That I never found before
I never knew how
Even if a fire burned in the core
Still I know
There is something inside
Each and everyone
Anyone with tears to cry
Knows
Love is worth it all
Love is everything
I melt into an offering of tin
Knowing it may not be enough
But I gave it all
And with true love
I gave all I had within
