Anguished Longing

To love someone, that you can never see,
To love someone, that you can never touch,
The lonesome sadness in my heart,
To think constantly of the person you love,
Hoping your thoughts fly like the swiftest dove,
Never knowing, always guessing,
The pain in my heart, oh how one longs caressing,
To be truthful and yet lost in one's thoughts,
Never fully awake, never fully asleep,
Time travels slowly like a rusted clock,
Her voice, the only joy my heart beats,
As the sun rises to a new day,
My eyes wander to the last of the sun's beautiful rays.
