I've never tasted tears like before And they are the saddest I have known Their simple is none but one of joy For now it seems I may not be Upon this earth as I been 'til now A truly twist of fate For I had up on everyone myself, and thought it late Too late for any to cast a line His would hit the ice and snap in two But someone a kiss and with his breath Unfroze what ne'er a fire could do An angel now is mine and the start I knew that I was to let him in But while I smile I weep I know That something ends so that this can God, a fool am I, or am I wise? For years have I kept in my heart The name of one who had been more But whom I wrote about and set From other men, though never did I My feelings, nay, but used him as a An inspiration, something to But rarely did I on what I'd lose If ever my were replaced By someone living, breathing, and real For while I pledged my to him in song The for me I knew he did not feel If I tell the truth, I'd say I planned To go on in fashion for all time I didn't he couldn't care for me As as I could own him in each rhyme And someone to think about each night When torment torment wracked my soul To writhe in sorrow, bathe in pain's To fill my pages was my goal Until the day I to call it love For this love was the only I had And somehow I could keep the rest For in my I never was alone And being in love, though with a specter, I never did expect, nor wish, nor To another in that holy place Though in my mind I knew no one was Yay, in my mind, but not so in my I loved, I I loved, else why this pain When of my will I opened up the And swept the space I swore hed remain And something dies within me as I As new is born in every tear Past years of I long to keep A future that I long for and fear There really was no when it came This shooting star, fire and gentleness Who never gave me time to my choice But made my will his own each caress For once and only once I did not Where I should feel and for I was proud But it was one to enact the part And else to say the word aloud For once I had, I a shadow fade Which over me had hung for all these And no true loss in all the world match The sense of passing with my tears I hadn't known 'til how lost I was Enveloped in mist of my design So much of me my had thus become That in my no star was seen to shine it bore some of my phantom's light Or carried strains of music in the Until my soul was to the view No man could enter, except in my Its over now and I am not I know full well I am meant to do But late at night I recall my muse I cry for us as though he knew That I had waited to hear my name Once spoken as it should have been Id wait there still but someone real And the heart no man could hope to win If to my muse I'd ever said It not hurt this much to say goodbye But there is something in this scene Which may appear as to the eye Of anyone who myself Bound in the and lips of my new friend in a way I've never been And healing I thought would never mend The truth that my reality The I dreamed but never thought Id meet And now I look back except in dreams Yet I do the pain is always sweet For only pain can me who I was And from that girl to me how Ive grown Ive tasted tears like these before And yes, they are the saddest I known
