I won't compare thee to a summer's day,
Your love is colder than a winter's chill
The warmth you hide, a mask of your dismay,
A love that fades with time, against my will
Hate lingers within you, concealing truth
The resentment you harbour in those eyes
Your words glimmer with ghosts of our shared youth
My heart divided with your sweet lies
An angel stripped of its wings, tormented
Betrayed by all the wrongs you've wrought, gnawing
My love unspoken, silently resented
Discouraged hope, my heart forever longing
Still, I walk a road that leads to love denied,
Where lost desires and time itself collide
