Sad Thoughts about Love

Why do I even try so hard

I guess I’m not prepared to learn

That in love’s play I don’t take part

Being rebuffed at every turn

No matter how far I fly

Love is something I can’t reach

It seems that fate passed me by

And I’ve no choice but to oblige

Well then, so long

I’m tired of believing wrong

Of thinking that someplace on earth

Somebody could actually see my worth

But then again, the wonder’s small

Shouldn’t I know best of all

That some souls never get the chance

To embrace their life’s romance

Yet here I stand, being a fool

Still getting these notions cruel

Lighting my mind with hope

While slowly tying solitude’s rope

Brothers, sisters, most around

Already their hearts have bound

And though for them I’m truly glad

I can’t help but feel a little sad

Cuddling, kissing, being close

And while I’m happy for those

Just upon that very sight

I can feel my heart wither inside
