Your beauty draws me,

Ever closer…

What is it about you,

That has me hooked?

You carry so much pain with you,

The hurt I can see in your innocent eyes

Captivates me.

I watch in anguish,

As you bear the burden

Of this unearthly torment,

Suffering quietly, without complaint.

Do you feel that you deserve this cruel fate?

This endless, torturous punishment?

My heart bleeds for you.

But what are you?

A dream,

A vision never real?

Or are you a heavenly angel,

That only mine eyes can see?

No…

No angel can you be,

For you have been tainted…

If only by your humanity.

No longer are you pure,

Devoid of guilt

But even in my new awareness

Of such a simple truth,

Even this newfound knowledge

Could never diminish…

My love for you.
