Love Unrequited

Chilled like a flower in the frost
Stabbed in the heart
O my bleeding soul
Love me, want me
All is lost
The pain, the pain I hope you never know
No tapping on my window pane
No young suitor burning bright
No kiss will touch these lips of red
So soon faded to ghastly white
It is a fitting end I see
I have known love but it never knew me
Never clasped in arms so tight
Just dreaming, dreaming with all my might
That you would see me for the first time tonight
And walking from room to room
Your heart would thump a little in your chest too
But you feel nothing…perhaps even distain
At the notion of dancing with me in the rain
Or giving me your coat at night
You would let me freeze just for spite
No, no that is not true
You cannot help what you do
You have no idea how you turn me black and blue
Crying, dying from loving you
O my bleeding soul
No comfort on the long road ahead
Love unrequited takes its toll
And fills my life with never ending dread
