love I cannot have
your eyes are
dimmed because of
the pain but
I can bright
them back up.
Your hair looks
moonless night on
clear night.
I know I
cannot have because
of a love I
cannot have.
You are so
pretty but I
cannot love because
our ages gap
is too far apart.
Your soul has
been beat up
and hurt over time.
You should be
mine but your
love I cannot have.
I cannot have
your love even
if I could
it because I
donot deserve it.
