Nobody's Poem
I look and before me is an angel
I look and the heavens sigh, longing for this angel
I look and know I am invisible
This angel is who I love
How must I capture her gaze
Long enough to express my agony without her
Must I conquer the world
Must I touch the starts
Must I forfeit my life
Just so she knows me
How must I capture her love
Must I give up everything I own
Must I become rich and powerful
Must I change who I am
Just for here love
How must I capture and hold onto her
Must I keep her in chains (so she never flies again)
Must I clip her wings (so she never flies again)
Must I cage her (so she never flies again)
Just to keep her
O don't pity me; my heart has loved, but pity those who don't love
Dedicated to my love
Dedicated to my angel
