Love has an embargo against me.
Forsaken, forgotten, forlorn--
My heart breaks for the sound of a lover’s sigh;
For the solemn pounding of a treasured heartbeat next to mine.
I'll never find sublime perfection
In the face of another;
The arcane whispers and smiles
Shared by soulmates are barred from my purview.
The divinity of a caress escapes me,
The sacred secret of a kiss refused me.
Love denies itself to me.
I stand alone,
Waiting for seafoam to tickle my toes.
Waiting for a love that will never be known.

Love has an embargo against me.
Forsaken, forgotten, forlorn--
My heart breaks for the sound of a lover’s sigh;
For the solemn pounding of a treasured heartbeat next to mine.
I'll never find sublime perfection
In the face of another;
The arcane whispers and smiles
Shared by soulmates are barred from my purview.
The divinity of a caress escapes me,
The sacred secret of a kiss refused me.
Love denies itself to me.
I stand alone,
Waiting for seafoam to tickle my toes.
Waiting for a love that will never be known.
