Out Of Reach

by Christina McDowell   Aug 19, 2007


After all these years
Of loving you
Coming back are all my fears
But I was so true

You never noticed
How I was in love with you
Being enticed
My love for you just grew

I always had hope
That one day you'd love
I'd never really mope
I'd grasp strength from above

But one day
You got married to some woman
I couldn't say
What spell you had summon

My heart filled with hate
I didn't think i'd survive
Never did we have a date
Now, I didn't think i'd be alive

You were now out of reach
There was no chance
No need to teach
Any skills for our ended romance

A man that loved me
Asked my hand in marriage
I couldn't be
On the slightest, meanest edge

I didn't love him
I'd just pretend
That his future wasn't dim
Or that our marriage was to soon come to an end

You had a family
A "happily forever after"
You would never think of me
Cause of your happy joy and laughter

How it hurts my eyes
To see you with the other woman
"It was supposed to be me," i was thinking as i cry
The tears need to flow... but there are none

What am I to do?
I don't have the ability
To grasp you
What a humility

Out of my reach
My dream unfufilled
My goal I could never meet
My life is slaughtered and killed...
