Am I a fool to think of love,
For there is only the pain.
I have had my chances,
I could have had my prize.
She was an angel,
Hair of fire, skin of silk.
Beautiful through and through,
She would never to be in my arms
Her voice was kind,
When she said she wanted to be mine.
I could not understand her desire
So my ignorance cut her deep.
Her love I had no more.
Her eyes held only hate.
I had caused her pain,
That darkened her pure soul.
Love lost to me forever,
The years have seemed hollow.
I hope for her forgiveness,
For I cannot forgive myself
