I've tasted tears like these before And they are the saddest I have known simple cause is none but one of joy For now it I may not be alone Upon this earth as I been 'til now A unexpected twist of fate For I had up on everyone Especially myself, and it late Too late for any to cast a line His would hit the ice and snap in two But someone blew a and with his breath Unfroze ne'er a roaring fire could do An angel now is and from the start I knew I was bound to let him in But while I smile I weep because I That something ends so that can begin God, what a am I, or am I wise? For years I kept hidden in my heart The name of one who never had more But I wrote about 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 were replaced By living, breathing, warm and real For I pledged my life 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 this fashion for all I didn't care he couldn't for me As long as I could own him in rhyme And have someone to think about night When torment after wracked my soul To writhe in sorrow, bathe in delight To fill my was my only goal the day I dared to call it love For love was the only I had known And somehow I could keep the away For in my mind I never was And being thus in love, with a specter, I never did expect, nor wish, nor To another in that holy place in my mind I knew no one was there Yay, in my mind, but not so in my I loved, I swear I loved, why this pain of my will I opened up the door And the space where I swore hed remain And something within me as I sweep As something new is born in every Past of memories I long to keep A future that I both for and fear There really was no when it came This star, both fire and gentleness Who gave me time to make my choice But made my his own with each caress For and only once I did not think Where I should feel and for I was proud But it was one thing to the part And something else to say the word For once I had, I felt a fade over me had hung for all these years And no true loss in all the world could The sense of someone passing with my I hadn't 'til then how lost I was Enveloped in this of my design So of me my muse had thus become That in my eyes no star was to shine Unless it bore some of my phantom's Or carried of music in the beams my soul was open to the view No man enter, except in my dreams Its now and I am not afraid I know full what I am meant to do But late at when I recall my muse I cry for us as he ever knew That I had years to hear my name Once spoken as it have always been Id wait there but someone real appeared And stole the heart no man could to win If to my I'd ever said hello It might not this much to say goodbye But there is tragic in this scene may appear as joyous to the eye Of who witnesses myself Bound in the and lips of my new friend Completed in a way I've been And healing wounds I thought would never The truth that my reality The soul I but never thought Id meet And now I don't look except in dreams Yet when I do the pain is sweet For pain can show me who I was And from girl to me how much Ive grown Ive never tasted tears these before And yes, are the saddest I have known
