I've tasted tears like these before And though they are the saddest I have Their cause is none but one of joy For now it I may not be alone this earth as I have been 'til now A truly unexpected twist of For I had given up on Especially myself, and thought it Too for any soul to cast a line His hook would hit the ice and in two But blew a kiss and with his breath Unfroze ne'er a roaring fire could do An now is mine and from the start I that I was bound to let him in But while I I weep because I know That something ends so that can begin God, what a am I, or am I wise? For years have I kept hidden in my The name of one who had been more But whom I wrote and set apart From men, though never did I tell My feelings, nay, but used him as a An inspiration, to adore But did I think on what I'd lose If ever my affections replaced By living, breathing, warm and real For while I pledged my to him in song The same for me I he did not feel If I tell the truth, I'd say I planned To go on in this for all time I didn't he couldn't care for me As long as I could own him in rhyme And someone to think about each night When after torment wracked my soul To in sorrow, bathe in pain's delight To my pages was my only goal Until the day I to call it love For love was the only I had known And somehow I keep the rest away For in my mind I never was And being thus in love, with a specter, I never did expect, nor wish, nor To take another in that 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 the space where I swore hed remain And something dies within me as I As something new is born in tear years of memories I long to keep A that I both long for and fear There really was no question it came This star, both fire and gentleness Who never gave me to make my choice But made my will his own with 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 something else to say the aloud For once I had, I felt a shadow Which over me had hung for all years And no loss in all the world could match The sense of passing with my tears I hadn't 'til then how lost I was Enveloped in mist of my design So of me my muse had thus become in my eyes no star was seen to shine Unless it some of my phantom's light Or carried of music in the beams my soul was open to the view No man enter, except in my dreams Its over now and I am not I know full well what I am to do But late at night when I my muse I cry for us as though he ever I had waited years to hear my name Once spoken as it have always been Id wait there still but someone appeared And stole the no man could hope to win If to my I'd ever said hello It might not hurt much to say goodbye But there is something tragic in scene Which may appear as to the eye Of anyone who witnesses Bound in the arms and of my new friend Completed in a way never been And healing wounds I thought would never The truth that shattered my The soul I dreamed but thought Id meet And now I don't back except in dreams Yet I do the pain is always sweet For only can show me who I was And from that to me how much Ive grown Ive never tears like these before And yes, are the saddest I have known
