Lament


It’s a crying shame I cry for you
When I know I’ll ne’r be yours
When I know I’ll never hold you tight
And cry long on a starlight night

I want to –
NO! Resist the urge!
Ignorance is bliss, or so they say
Let him be happy, and never say

You never knew, you never will
The dreams I cry alone for you
The dreams that die as each new tear
Explodes against a cold stone floor

Will my red tears now do the same?
Will releasing them release the pain?
The pain of unrequited love
Burning in my Scarlet Dove

It’s a crying shame love causes pain
And you’ll cry for me. Too late, I fear. I’m gone.
I cried for you, for only you
I cried for you, now cry for me.
