Unrequited
B Sophi

Daring to reach to you, who hold my heart,
The sun holds no radiance to my eyes.
Daring to fight those who hold us apart,
My beloved, I pray you hear no lies.

Darling, I know you share my emotion.
And I hold for us a longing for hope,
But could we ever show our devotion?
Until then my love alone you must cope.

To their rules our love does not adhere,
But my love for you is beyond measure.
And should the end of the world find me here,
Then I could ask for no greater treasure.

I say, should I not live up to this task,
A kiss before dying is all that I ask.
