The Hopeless Romantic's Confession

The hopeless romantic makes his appearance

I am a hopeless romantic

Sounds a bit cliche doesn't it?

I come from a land famous for gentility

And yet, finding love is very unlikely

Those beautiful goddesses I wish to make mine

All fall for actors who appear to have a style uniquely sublime

They're the devil in disguise, drawing these poor goddesses close

After they get what they want, the goddesses are abandoned...alone

It breaks my heart to see them hurt

For hatred has made their paper thin hearts burnt

These famous ballads of their pain echo in my mind

All of them screaming that love is hard to find

No! No! Look no more!

Your heart's desire is at the door

I come to save you, love you, and make you mine

If I call on you anymore it will turn into a whine

Let me save you please?

I'll put your fragile, crystal heart at ease

We're not dead. There are still knights in shining armor

Willing to battle for your soul, y tu amor

I am a hopeless romantic

Sounds cliche doesn't it?

This is my story...and my fate

Loving and falling for women who were hurt and now hate

The exclamatory locutions are pretty stellar. Perfection is found somewhere between these two lines:"Your heart's desire is at the door
I come to save you, love you, and make you mine". Same goes for:"I'll put your fragile, crystal heart at ease". The "whine" line is fine. Lol. It's adequate, but it's a low point for me. "y tu amor"? Brilliant. For a cliche title, it's soooo not cliche. This is my story line? Show. Don't tell. I get that it's the speaker's story. Prod me in the right direction without giving everything up. The last line is the same, but it'll be tricky to replace it with more figurative language considering the subject matter. You write like a soon-to-be pro. Jiuh.
