Half-Hearted

You crept into my darkness,
lit the fire that was
extinguished for so long.
You were the only thing
that kept my smile
from ear to ear.
You saved me,
brought my heart back
from the dead,
made it beat vigorously
again.
The first words you spoke,
made my heart jump.
You didn't whisper into my ear,
you whispered into my heart.
Your kiss almost put me into a coma,
because you didn't kiss my lips,
You kissed my soul.
You can make me whole.
You can bring me back,
from the hell I've been through.
Only you can look into my eyes,
and make me feel like the King.
But no King is complete without his Queen
and my heart is only half without you.
