Once A Heart So Black

By Butterfly

Burnt into my memory
Are your eyes of passion
Etched into my light skin
Is your touch of reason

Your words echo in my ears
As you whisper I love you
Your scent lingers on the air
As I breathe in all of you

Your love touches me deep inside
Where once was a heart so black
I love you, baby, through and through
I can't wait till I get back
