Bittersweet Symphony
Symphony II: Nocturne
Beneath the silver moonlight
I watch you in the shadows unseen
I see your eyes glimmering with unshed tears
Your face a mirror of sadness
A sad smile playing upon your lips.
If only I could, if only I dared...
Reach out to that far away star
A solitary light in my bleak existence.
I love you yet I can never be your sun
I can only be the moon that revolves around you
Affecting your tides but never your day and night
For your center is the red rose that hurts you
Not the cattleya that hides behind a mask
I can't help but look
I can't help but wish...
To be close...To hold...
To feel your warmth
And taste your lips...
A poisoned kiss.
Only in my dreams can I have you
In my fantasies can I embrace
Like broken glass on dark velvet
Your shattered heart
These thoughts that I hold
Forbidden and sweet
The feelings I harbor unrequited
My heart beats a rhythm of deep longing
Of a song playing its sad melody
In the silence of the cold night.
