Unrequited
I hear the joy within your voice.
Know now that there was never choice.
Had no chance to be considered.
Waited too long, tarried and dithered.
…
I see the look within your eyes,
And from her the look reprised.
Lucky now to get a glance,
Yet I watch on, in sorrow's trance.
…
Broken heart leaves bitter taste.
Keep myself silent, keeping chaste.
Envy's touch and loss, despair.
Won't break your joy, make you aware.
…
Sharla knows and Dunban sees.
But for you I'll hold my peace.
In hidden village on this arm,
Your love and joy, I'll do no harm.
…
So for you I'll bear pain alone.
Here, or where o'er we roam.
Silent titans loom above,
I'll bear unrequited, silent love.
