Wonderfully written, Chris.

Ive betrayed myself again
With my shy silence
Another lost opportunity
The tragic story of my life
I could promise the world
Wrapped up in the shattered seashell of my heart

beautiful, yet sad portrayl of what happens to a lot of people in love.

great work. i do hope your simple wish of love comes true. take heart; it will.

good luck and peace
