Unrequited


As an elfin fairy dreamed, I wanted her, for her I looked. To touch her peony lips was my wish, Giving the forest another longing look, away I turned.
Unrequited love is mine, For this ethereal nymph will never love me. Alone I stand, snow settling on my lonely heart. Yet I still hope, hope for a glimpse Of the girl who stole my heart from me.
A light shines as her eyes do in my soul I follow, alive, feeling whole This princess sings of her passion. I begin to wish, to lose all ration.
Maybe requited love is mine This ethereal nymph might love me No longer alone I stand, snow melting on my heart And so I hope, hope for the truth That this girl might return my heart to me
Creeping closer, I spy a glint of gold. A ring is on her finger, I grow cold. A handsome elf holds her waist I cannot look, must turn my face.
Unrequited love is forever mine, This ethereal nymph will never love me Forever alone I stand, snow settling on my heart. Yet I still hope, hope for a last glimpse Of this girl that stole my heart from me.
Curled up upon a knoll, I weep out my heart and soul I felt my life slip away; I didn't argue. I could not bear to stay.
My heart remembered with pain, The reason it was broken. It stopped. And so I departed this world, my live unrequited.
