Red Rose

There's no pain like an unreachable love.
This I know all too well,
When I hear your voice like a bell
Wrung by angels far from above.

But what am I to do,
And what can I say?
When I think everyday
I'm so in love with you.

And still you stand alone,
Unknowing of my love,
Or what I'm thinking of,
In silence of chilling bone.

A rose couldn't smell as sweet,
A swan would pale in beauty,
Shakespeare would seem moody,
As your eyes and mine meet.
