I Will Never Tell

I cannot whisper this,
Nor say it out aloud.
I cannot risk the chance,
Against this I have vowed.

I think it when I see him play,
Or when I see him laugh.
I only wonder why he's chosen,
To walk beside my path.

He needs the maiden fair and soft,
With a voice clear like bells.
Not the broken, limping fool,
With voices bourn of hell.

I don't deserve his time,
Much less his very thought,
And yet he wastes it day by day,
To lose what he has sought.

Yet this voice i must now silence,
For he has heard it's tale,
And he's silenced it forever,
At this I cannot fail.

I want the best for him,
And I'm wondering if that's really me,
Because when he's playing now,
It's hard to really see.

He belongs there like childsplay,
Instinctive and carefree,
But my world does not enter there,
Where does that leave me?

He shouldn't waste his time,
I'm not his fair and softened belle,
But since my lips have been sewed up,
This I will never tell.
