How I loved to see <br />That beauty that's not meant to be <br />See the tears it could shed <br />Behind the smiles, the pain she hid. <br /> <br />A longing heart <br />For a man who left <br />Together yet worlds apart <br />He'd never seen her wept. <br /> <br />A fish lost at sea <br />A stranger among her own <br />Bound to a watery grave <br />Of tears and fears he'd never known. <br /> <br />Tired of swimming <br />In a path so conceived <br />That the only way from a man to a king <br />Is to live a life unlived. <br /> <br />And a wife unseen <br />Forgotten in her chain <br />Always, always a hurting queen <br />Always and always crying in vain. <br /> <br />Is this the beauty the I've long to see <br />A forgotten mistress was all i could be <br />For a husband who's always there but never were <br />The man who wouldn't die for me.<br /><br />Izobelle Pulgo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/die-for-me/
