Muse

fates evil grip holds my heart
yet i knew from the start
if i to have one moments kiss
a piece of me would not exist
elusive memories to far to touch
age's mournful whip 
will draw blood
you stole my life my breath that day
only to mount it in a frame
on stretched canvas is were it lies
my love for you i dare not show
is on display and still unknown
unknown to all but you and i
a forbidden truth that we must hide
an untouched love not yet broke
blinded by an uneven yoke
one strike two strike, i just can't bear
that of simple logic is never fair
if you can not love
than what am i to you
please don't tell me, i'm just your muse

"too far to touch" "a forbidden truth we must hide" ..that is not necessary & weakens the line..that of is also not needed. very nice RHYMING verse heart/start..kiss/exsist.. day/frame (both a sounds) broke/yoke..bear/fair..you can work a bit on it and make the rhyme clearer ..the mind picture is clear/ good concept Light & Love Debbie
