Strangled Love

My Strangled love
it suffers so
i feel so lost
where will i go?

you've a kind heart
you've a warm smile
they only last
so short a while.

The midnight sky
so cold and dark
as I await
your warm remark.

I feel as though
a wire wraps
around my heart
creating gaps.

The holes, they fill
with pain so deep
that yet again
my eyes, they weep.

My love, so strong
outstretched to you
but walls obscure
my mood turns blue.

A waterfall
so tall and clear
falls from my eyes
throughout the year.

The seasons change
the days go by
for you i yearn
but still i sigh.

The time, unwilling
to change its pace
so childhood
I'm forced to face.

The time when laws
and rules forebode
me to carry
so great a load.

Which is a burden?
What one is worse?
the pain of love,
or my silent curse?

I call your name
my voice so loud
but always lost
within the crowd.

My strangled love
is lost again
so now I'll try
to use my pen.

My words may never
reach your ears
but at least they'll last
throughout the years.

When not a child
maybe someday
I'll come to you
I'll smile and say:

Although unknown,
you made me cry,
I felt a pain
that made me sigh

I felt so lost
there i waited
for my heart to
be ungated.

I loved you then
and always will
so hold me tight,
don't let me chill.

So will you let
my love strangle?
let my heart from
your hand dangle?

I need a cure
for strangled love.
a cure from you,
from up above.
