I see you
Right before
Me but I
Cannot touch -
You're just a
Memory -
An image
From my mind,
From my dreams -
They say you
Should love me
'Cause I love
You - and yet
I know it
Will never
Happen - You
Do not and
Cannot love me.
I know your
Heart has been
Reserved for
Another.
Yet I yearn to
Have you by
My lonely
Side - but you
Will never
Be there as
I want you
To be mine,
Forever.

So, with rage,
I shatter
The glass of
Your visage -
Watch the pieces
Fall onto
The floor - I
Curse so the
Emotion
Love in my
Pain and doubt -
All because
You'll never
Love me - not
At all - the
Chance is nil -
I curl up
In the back -
The corner -
Of the room,
Afraid of
Myself as
My anger
Gives into
Sorrow and
I cry - cry
My eyes out.

I try to
Reconstruct
You, your glass
Statuette,
But I can't
And I find
That because
I love you,
I have
Destroyed
You.
