My Deathless Love

It has gone on for far too long.
Lightning will smite me for my wrong.
On my honor, I gave all that I could,
Vicious fate will still get me; I knew that it would.
Even now, you gaze at me with shimmering eyes;
Yearning, I hide from those azure skies.
Open arms forced to stay at each side,
Unworthy Casanova, swallow love as pride!

Kindness that I never deserved, shall soon depart-
Run away! Run far from this fool’s heart.
Instead of your man, I could be your brother,
Somehow then fall as dumbly for another
Touch you, I will not; never as I am touched,
Ever in your hand a heart lays unclutched,
Nevermore to care, roaming directionless and hurt.

Only one can tell why  I hold you close to me,
Bringer of my sorry end, a light I cannot see.
Raging passion held behind exhausted eyes,
In a prison so deep you cannot hear its cries.
Enchanting, your smile makes a pulse stop still.
Not even I could destroy my love, nothing ever will
