Forever and always
In shadows deep, my heart does pine, For love that blooms but can't be mine. He's bound in vows, a sacred tie, With another soul, beneath the sky. Yet in my dreams, his laughter sings, A fleeting joy on silver wings. I know the ache of hearts entwined, Forbidden love, a bitter kind. Oh, how I wrestle with my heart, In silent hours, worlds apart. For love, unbidden, claims its stake, A tender ache I can't forsake. I watch him smile, his child at play, And steal my gaze, then turn away. In secret whispers, passion's art, I nurse this flame within my heart. But guilt, a phantom, haunts my days, In shadows where our love's ablaze. For though I long for what can't be, I hold this love so reverently. So let this yearning softly be, A whispered tale of destiny. In hidden corners, love's design, A bittersweet refrain, divine.
