I've tasted tears like these before And though are the saddest I have known Their cause is none but one of joy For now it I may not be alone Upon this as I have been 'til now A unexpected twist of fate For I had up on everyone myself, and thought it late Too late for any soul to a line His hook would hit the ice and in two But someone blew a kiss and his breath what ne'er a roaring fire could do An angel now is mine and the start I that I was bound to let him in But while I I weep because I know That something ends so this can begin God, what a am I, or am I wise? For years have I kept in my heart The name of one who never had more But whom I wrote about and set From other men, never did I tell My feelings, nay, but him as a muse An inspiration, something to But rarely did I on what I'd lose If ever my were replaced By someone living, breathing, warm and For while I pledged my life to him in The for me I knew he did not feel If I tell the truth, I'd say I planned To go on in this fashion for all I didn't care he care for me As long as I could own him in rhyme And have to think about each night When torment after torment my soul To in sorrow, bathe in pain's delight To fill my pages was my goal Until the day I to call it love For this was the only I had known And somehow I could the rest away For in my mind I never was And being in love, though with a specter, I never did expect, nor wish, nor To take another in that place Though in my mind I no one was there Yay, in my mind, but not so in my I loved, I swear I loved, else why this When of my will I opened up the And swept the space where I hed remain And something within me as I sweep As something new is born in tear Past years of memories I long to A that I both long for and fear really was no question when it came This shooting star, both and gentleness Who never gave me time to make my But made my his own with each caress For and only once I did not think I should feel and for that I was proud But it was one thing to the part And something else to say the 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 could The sense of someone with my tears I hadn't known 'til how lost I was Enveloped in this of my design So of me my muse had thus become That in my eyes no was seen to shine Unless it bore some of my phantom's Or strains of music in the beams Until my soul was open to the No man enter, except in my dreams Its over now and I am not I know full what I am meant to do But late at night when I my muse I cry for us as he ever knew That I had years to hear my name spoken as it should have always been Id wait there still but someone appeared And stole the heart no man could to win If to my I'd ever said hello It might not hurt this to say goodbye But there is something in this scene Which may appear as to the eye Of anyone who witnesses in the arms and lips of my new friend Completed in a way never been And wounds I thought would never mend The truth that shattered my The soul I dreamed but never Id meet And now I don't look back in dreams Yet I do the pain is always sweet For pain can show me who I was And from that girl to me how much Ive Ive tasted tears like these before And yes, they are the saddest I have
