You Deserve More Than Me

Your eyes, I feel them looking Eternally they peer away I wish that I could capture them I wish, I hope, I pray But no, they look not for me They look for someone, true With a love to give well, always That is what, is meant for you Your lips and tongue, they call out I hear them on the breeze A voice that’s like no other That brings me to my knees But no, they call not to me Your voice calls for someone, true May he have the love you seek, my dear That is what, is meant for you Your hands, they reach to touch so much With eagerness, they wish to feel Their softness is wonderfully caressing They can make a broken heart heal But no, they reach not for me They feel for that someone who Can touch you as you touch him That is what, is meant for you

Lovely and sad.... not being loved in return, breaks ones heart to feel the pain. ~ Carrie
