Sorrow In A Silent Wood

I sit in the silent wood and wait for you to find me

Wishing that I could reduce the years behind me

I only see you now as someone out of reach

Could someone show me how to fix this ageist breach

 

You have the things I need to help me feel worthwhile

And you germinate the seed of my love with every smile

Forget me, never see me, let me pass outside your vision

Whilst I wish that you could need me and release me from this prison

 

I'm tired, so tired of life, of this endless wheel I tread

Alone, immersed in strife, my hopes of freedom dead

I live my days so empty, so cold and unfulfilled

With only you to tempt me, yet my longing must be stilled

 

I wait amidst the beauty of the wood you took me to

And rage against the duty of a life lived without you

The warmth within is gone now, my heart lies cold as stone

For you love a girl so young now, and so I stay alone

 

The silent wood absorbs me and takes me to its heart

As I sit against this old tree not knowing where to start

I know you love her deeply but I wish I had been first

Yet wishes sell here cheaply and I live within my curse

 

My life of worthless deeds, has meant that I must suffer

And regardless of my needs, I will never have this lover

He will always step away however close I come

He will never want to stay with this old and cursed one
