The bitter watches of the night
Pass slowly 'neath your wand'ring eyes
While love sleeps unknowingly
You watch with hardened sight
The glances in the meeting hall
A careless touch, a whispered prayer
You hoard them like a dragon's gold
Love dances like a graceful bird
Unknowing of your plight
It pains you, seeing your desire
Floating there, just out of reach
You've not the brawn to slay a monster
Though some would call you thus a beast
Your crime is unrequited love
Love does not share your pain
Caught up in love's own heartache
Love decries you as a thief
A worm, a crawling little thing
To be squished beneath the heel
Of no importance.
