I've tasted tears like these before And though they are the saddest I have simple cause is none but one of joy For now it seems I may not be Upon this earth as I have 'til now A truly twist of fate For I had given up on myself, and thought it late Too for any soul to cast a line His hook would hit the ice and 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 that I was bound to let him in But while I smile I because I know That something ends so that this can God, what a fool am I, or am I For years have I kept hidden in my The of one who never had been more But whom I wrote and set apart From other men, though never did I My feelings, nay, but used him as a An inspiration, something to But rarely did I think on 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 care he care for me As long as I own him in each rhyme And have someone to think about each When torment after torment wracked my To writhe in sorrow, bathe in pain's To fill my pages was my only Until the day I dared to call it For this was the only I had known And somehow I could keep the rest For in my mind I never was And being thus in love, though a specter, I never did expect, nor wish, nor To take another in that holy 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 pain When of my will I up the door And swept the space where I hed remain And dies within me as I sweep 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 when it came This shooting star, both fire and Who gave me time to make my choice But made my will his own with caress For once and only once I did not Where I feel and for that I was proud But it was one thing to enact the And something else to say the aloud For I had, I felt a shadow fade over me had hung for all these years And no true loss in all the could match The sense of someone passing my tears I hadn't known 'til then how I was in this mist of my design So much of me my muse had thus in my eyes no star was seen to shine Unless it bore some of my light Or strains of music in the beams Until my soul was open to the No man could enter, in my dreams Its over now and I am not I full well what I am meant to do But late at when I recall my muse I cry for us as he ever knew I had waited years to hear my name Once spoken as it should have always Id wait there still but someone appeared And stole the heart no man could to win If to my muse I'd ever said It might not hurt this much to say But there is something in this scene Which may as joyous to the eye Of anyone who myself Bound in the arms and lips of my new Completed in a way never been And wounds I thought would never mend The that shattered my reality The soul I dreamed but never 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, they are the saddest I have
