To Her



To her who holds my heart
 hear my words I pray
 the words that I can’t say,
 I may pay for my lack of lyrics spoke,
 but for loss of time or a place
 I refrain,

fall back in the shadows as other masquerade to love thee,
 would it be that they lie so lavishly,
 real love they have never known,
 mere mortals cannot love you the way I do,

Juliet couldn’t have been loved more dear than you,
if you could hear the words I can’t say,
 if you could feel the feeling that I gravitate,
if I could levitate the charaders away so just you and I remain,
 my honor contains me,
 my love restrains me,

I love your happy smile more than my own,
 her smile is my greatest fantasy,
 when I see her I lose my sanity,
 if she be satisfied with false coin that will leave her empty
 then I will rejoice with her
