Unrequited

Unrequited 

Were I to pen a letter true

And tell my deepest thoughts to you

What would you think, what would you say

Would you rebound and run away?

Were I to sing a song of love

And convince you that 'twas from above

Would you in rapture listen to

And believe the words I sing to you?

Were I to die for true love's sake

Would you from slumber come awake

And love me then like you don't now

If I should die for you somehow?

Were I to die and haunt your dreams

In golden fields by crystal streams

In downy clouds lie down in love

Would that then win for me your love?

For all I've done has come to naught

I've found no hope in what I've sought

You've passed me by like I'm unseen

And kissed me only in my dreams.

And though I've laid my heart out bare

I know for me you do not care

My song's unheard, my words unread

In heartache's hand I make my bed.

Were I to wish now that I die

Would you in pity deem to try

And kiss my lips for pity's sake?

I'll dream forever and never wake.
