Above the lovers, masked in flames,
Hidden in hopeful, smitten rays,
A figure in the depths of cheer,
I know they will not find me here.
An image so entwined with grace,
Yet romance is the fear I face,
For although my arrow binds two minds,
It breaks my heart each time, I find.
For now be still my broken heart,
I alone now stand apart,
For I have never loved a soul,
Have never felt my mind aglow,
With useless faith or honest dreams,
I live alone not in a team,
Have always just been me, myself,
I felt I needed no one else.
The truth at last, I fall apart,
I lose my faith, I lose my heart,
I feel it's something I can't beat,
With love on every turn I meet,
I drop to earth, an empty stone,
I have never felt so much alone.
