I hid my love
For you in my heart
Like a coward
I stood without words
With pride in my hand
I remained thoughtless
Even before the embodiment of a goddess
Fixed my upon her glistening complexion
Gazed in awe at the perfect resolute of art
I felt your warmth within my chest
The taste of your lips lingered free in my mind
As thou was cursed for eternity
For years i wondered about searching for love i had abandoned
Again and again
My heart be swayed with no luck at my end.
