Lost Love

Can I not tell her 
I watched her grow 
Though my pride beams  
Yet I am shackled in this life

Can I not tell her 
That my heart 
Wrote me a fairytale 
Yet the reality of life is cruel 

Can I not tell her 
Her smile
Will carry my eyes forever 
Yet Cupid laughs at his callousness 

Can I not tell her
She must fly away 
To that life we dreamed  
Yet I have neither feather nor wing 

Can I not tell her 
I love you

The longing is evident within. Your heart is aching and I can feel the pain. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. "I have neither feather nor wing" Your words take flight. They will find her, when the time is right. Hugs, Brandy
