Taken

She is beautiful. Sitting in her chair

While the winter's wind blows her hair

As if caressing a small child's head

How I've loved to call her my own

But for the sake of love the Great Goddess

Frowns upon me

For she belongs to another

I shall always want what I cannot have

And shall always have what I do not want

Has lady luck turned her back on me

Just as she did for Juliet and Romeo

Am I to wander the dark realms of my mind

Never to hold her in my arms

Never to feel the softness of her touch

Am I to be alone

Only to feel the cold

Icy touch of he whom I'm betrothed

Is it possible to disappear into the night

With nothing but the clothes on my back

And this pen and paper

Tis rightfully so

So goodbye my bright star

For I am no more

And none shall speak my name

My name will only be the soft petal of a rose

That ever so touches her lips

For I am dead and thus no more
