Love Favors The Brave


His eyes so cold, love him I could never
I know with all my heart we could never be together
There’s another I love, whose heart I seek
He’s as boisterous and brave as I am meek

How could I not love him, as I have for all these years?
He had always inspired me, helped me stand up to my fears
Yet here I am, so far from him
My future is wretched; bleak and dim

He who loves me so little will always be there
Yet he who I wish to be mine does not know how much I care
Love is painful, love is so very blind
Will love leave me behind?

Surely not, surely fate isn’t so cruel
But the very thought will always haunt me, my pain’s fuel
My choices are never mine to make
For me its always give, never will it be take

I suppose happy endings are just unreal
Happiness seems so far, no matter how much I wish to feel
It’s like I am locked, and only he has the key
But I know very well his love will never come to me
