In My Romantic Heart

In my romantic heart
A dream lay sleeping
Behind a locked door
Without a key
In my romantic heart
Where none had entered
A dream lay dormant
In silence kept
So privately
In my romantic heart
The world was shaken
From numbness taken
In one sweet kiss
Delicious moment
Of youthful fancy
In expectation
Anticipation
And foolish bliss
In my romantic heart
Behind a locked door
Without a key
In fitful dreams now
All hope lies sleeping
Past useless weeping
Where love is dreaming
In silent longing
For what can't be
