My love for you is lurking
In the inner depths of my soul,
A feeling that is yearning,
For everything to unfold.

My soul cries a thousand rivers,
Yet my eyes try not to shed a tear,
For every time you say, “you can’t”,
death whispers in my ear.

My heart continues beating
And stops when I’m with you,
Enough to make me feel the cold
Of a life without loving you.

And so I keep on threading
On this uncharted path,
Running after the one I love
Even if she can’t love me back.

Because the pleasures of the heart
Can never truly be known,
I’m starting to think it’s purpose
Is to remain unknown.
