A touchstone no one could have ever surpassed.
Frozen in the heart none believed was there.
Working through the pain I had amassed.
Grieving for a love I could not share.

One single word changed it all.
It shattered what was already thin.
That day you started building a wall.
One that wouldn’t allow me in.

A love unrequited is unimaginable pain.
Your heart filled with dread and sorrow.
You hope for a twist of fate in vain.
Begging fortune for a better tomorrow.

That boy, his mere existence taunted me.
His arrogance inherited, like his raven hair.
But there was one piece of you I could see.
It forced me stop and give him a care.

I lived a half life in the fringes.
It was a penance for my deed.
Thinking about it my heart cringes.
How I wished you had decided to cede.

No one knows of my love for you.
I think it shall die with me.
How changed my life was made.
By a love that shall never be.
