Provided below are the lyrics of the poem ‘Hopeless Romantic’, composed by Patricia Gale.
Trickling down and fallen round
The tears from her transparent heart
The window to her soul now open
Hoping he would see
The love she needs
Hopeless romantic please hear her plea
Loneliness came as a visitor
But now has taken resident
The events that lead to the vacancy
Was not seen my her love
Push and shove she does remain
Knowing some day she will go insane
Refraining from her departure
Hopeless romantic can you not see
Holding on to loves last strand
Sands of time fallen down
Her crown of freedom awaits her
Only if she could be sure
Is it right to flee
To sail away from her sorrows
Hopeless romantic in need of reprieve
A spell of love is what she is after
A potion to return her love
A seer’s mix to be her fix
An elixir to transfix his cold heart
Oh hopeless romantic what shall it be
Notions for such a useless potion
Consume her every emotion
The desire to return loves fire
Renders her helpless to reality
Nonetheless her endeavor shall remain
Forever shall it be
Hopeless romantic who needs to see
