Ode to a Lily
A fair Lily you are,
Or Lily you were.
When I saw you,
My heart could not help but stir.
The wind in your hair
Or the green of your eyes
In my mind, your face
Cannot seem to die.
You live in my dreams,
But you live somewhere else,
For the one who betrayed you
Betrayed me as well.
In his own little way,
He haunts me each day,
In the form of a boy
With eyes I used to enjoy…
I know that you, Lily,
Are gone from my sight,
But the bitter loneliness
Never ceases to bite…
But I can't tell you, Lily.
Now it's too late.
You never knew my love, did you?
You thought I could just hate.
And now I spend days
With memories at my side,
Weeping at your haunting eyes
As the boy taunts me inside.
With your eyes, Lily, your eyes!
Your eyes that just won't let me hide…
From my love for you Lily…
My love for the flower,
My love that seems to hold far too much power.
My love that is the most unrequited of all
For my cold heart,
Only your face can thaw.
