I've tasted tears like these before And though they are the saddest I known Their simple cause is 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 given up on myself, and thought it late Too late for any soul to cast a His would hit the ice and snap in two But blew a kiss and with his breath what ne'er a roaring fire could do An angel now is mine and from the I knew I was bound to let him in But I smile I weep because I know That something ends so that can begin God, a fool am I, or am I wise? For have I kept hidden in my heart The name of one who had been more But I wrote about and set apart From other men, though never did I My feelings, nay, but used him as a An inspiration, to adore But rarely did I on what I'd lose If ever my affections were 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 could the truth, I'd say I planned To go on in this fashion for all I care he couldn't care for me As long as I could own him in each And have someone to about each night When torment after wracked my soul To writhe in sorrow, bathe in pain's To my pages was my only goal Until the day I dared to it love For love was the only I had known And somehow I keep the rest away For in my I never was alone And being thus in love, with a specter, I never did expect, nor wish, nor To take another in that place Though in my I knew no one was there Yay, in my mind, but not so in my I loved, I swear I loved, else why pain When of my will I up the door And swept the space where I swore hed And something dies me as I sweep As new is born in every tear Past years of memories I long to A future that I both for and fear There really was no question it came shooting star, both fire and gentleness Who gave me time to make my choice But made my will his own with each For once and only once I did not Where I should and for that I was proud But it was one thing to enact the And else to say the word aloud For once I had, I felt a fade Which over me had hung for all years And no true loss in all the world match The sense of someone with my tears I hadn't known then how lost I was Enveloped in this mist of my So much of me my muse had become That in my eyes no star was seen to Unless it bore of my phantom's light Or carried strains of music in the Until my was open to the view No man could enter, in my dreams Its over now and I am not I know full well I am meant to do But at night when I recall my muse I cry for us as though he ever That I had waited years to my name Once spoken as it should have been Id wait there still but someone real 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 tragic in this scene may appear as joyous to the eye Of anyone who witnesses Bound in the arms and lips of my new in a way I've never been And healing wounds I thought never mend The truth that my reality The soul I dreamed but thought Id meet And now I don't look back in dreams Yet when I do the pain is sweet For only pain can me who I was And from girl to me how much Ive grown Ive never tasted like these before And yes, are the saddest I have known
