The Lost Cause

I hear your voice from afar.

Though cursed be my wretched scar,

I know that you can not be mine;

The cause to listen, I can not find.

Still I stay in hopeful wait,

Though I know I must face my inevitable fate.

I am doomed to live a lonely life,

Dreading that you can not be my wife.

Though I wait in endless time,

The cause to linger, I can not find.

Your hair is like a beam of sunshine.

Your skin is smooth and fine.

Though you are so beautiful and divine,

The cause to gaze, I can not find.

Christine, my love, you are perfection.

This is why, due to my cursed reflection,

I can never have you, though I wait.

The cause is lost;

Loneliness is my fate.


A/N I can only wish that I wrote this. My 14 year old brother wrote this for an 8th grade literature class. I was so impressed that I asked him if I could put it up on this site. So tell him what you think!
