 | Honey, I cannot for even a moment hide
No matter what I do, it continues to abide
Each day that passes only worsens the grief
I am torn and tattered, my life is adrift
To all the gods I have prayed for deliverance
Entreat them I did to spare me this sufferance
My ardent pleas have but fallen unheeded
The hurting and the pain still throb unabated
How I wish I had never tempted fate
My heart’s bidding I should have resisted
For all along the dire truth I have known
I really could never call you my own
But what could a mere mortal do
When faced with a beauty such as you?
Truth is, I was completely mesmerized
When on you I first laid my eyes
So, I gambled, risking on the chance
Hoping the die would to my favor dance
But alas, the end has long ago been foretold
Never will you be mine for eternity to behold
Upon my shoulder the burden is now lodged
Weighing so heavily, I want to shout aloud
To rail at the world for this painful loss
Yet, I should be man enough to bear the cross |  |
