Today I saw a couple kissing each other,
Lovingly, in an unbreakable embrace.
It was as though a wildfire was raging
In front of my eyes.
The scolding heat could burn my heart
And ignite my thoughts.

I could only walk by and long for the same kind of touch,
Long for the same kind of love.
Envy replaced my sight
And I was left with nothing but fright
And the lies about the prize
Promised by childhood tales
Written only to raise their sales.
