I admire from afar
But I do not dare touch you
You are on a diff'rent bar
Judged on a diff'rent scale too
You have reached a higher plain
Living the same life as me
Carrying a diff'rent pain
So light it is hard to see
I can't be more than a maid
Hoping to catch a king's eye
Who only wants to get laid
But I want more than that lie
I'm no more than a woman
Loving no less then a god
Wishing with all that she can
But denied even a nod
I wish for this god and dream
Not expecting a return
But from this night of moonbeams
I find comfort in the burn
Author notes
The story of my life, but as of late I have begun to be comforted in the fact that even though I want somone and they don't want me back, it's alright. Someone else is out there wanting me and I just don't know it yet. I take comfort in that.
Please tell me what you think

"I can't be more then a maid" --shouldn't this be "than"?
"But I want more then that lie"--again, "than"
"I'm no more then a woman"--again, "than"
I like your poem--especially "hoping to catch a king's eye" and that entire stanza.
I like the ending, but I don't think the title suits the poem...you're not untouchable because you want to be touched
