Heartless

Part one

Violet eyes

Bright as stars

Brought to tears

By pain and wars

I wish I could love you

It's more painful than you'd understand

But I can do nothing

Not even offer you my hand

The course my life has taken

Is a long and lonely life

I wish you could be part of it

And help me through the strife

A bookman has no heart

That is what I have been told

I can nothing about it

But it's hard to tread this road

I'm told your lives mean nothing

You are nothing more than ink on paper

I can't stand that at all

You lives are so much greater

You'll never know how I feel

I'm sort of glad you won't

You'd think I'd want to tell you

But honestly I don't

You are better off without me

I have no right to you

Your heart if far too fragile

Cause I'd only tear it in two

I know I'm not unloved

That's something I can't deny

You people all seem to care about me

And I just can't see why

I am nothing but a bookman

No heart is allowed

I truly do love you

But I'll never make a sound
