	I’ve never tasted tears
	Like these before
	And though they are the saddest
	I have known
	Their simple cause is none but
	One of joy
	For now it seems
	I may not be alone
	Upon this earth
	As I have been ‘til now
	A truly unexpected twist of fate
	For I had given up
	On everyone
	Especially myself
	And thought it late
	Too late
	For any soul to cast a line
	His hook would hit the ice
	And snap in two
	But someone blew a kiss
	And with his breath
	Unfroze
	What ne’er a roaring fire could do
	An angel now is mine
	And from the start
	I knew that I was bound to let him in
	But while I smile
	I weep
	Because I know
	That something ends
	So that this can begin
	God, what a fool am I
	Or am I wise?
	For years have I kept hidden in my heart
	The name
	Of one who never had been more
	But whom I wrote about
	And set apart
	From other men
	Though never did I tell
	My feelings, nay
	But used him
	As a muse
	An inspiration
	Something to adore
	But rarely did I think on what I’d lose
	If ever
	My affections
	Were replaced
	By someone living
	Breathing
	Warm and real
	For while I pledged my life
	To him in song
	The same for me
	I knew he did not feel
	If I could tell the truth
	I’d say I planned
	To go on in this fashion
	For all time
	I didn’t care
	He couldn’t care for me
	As long as I could own him
	In each rhyme
	And have someone to think about
	Each night
	When torment
	After torment wracked my soul
	To writhe in sorrow
	Bathe in pain’s delight
	To fill my pages
	Was my only goal
	Until the day
	I dared
	To call it love
	For this love
	Was the only I had known
	And somehow
	I could keep the rest away
	For in my mind
	I never was alone
	And being thus in love
	Though with a specter
	I never did expect
	Nor wish
	Nor care
	To take another
	In that holy place
	Though in my mind
	I knew no one was there
	Yay, in my mind
	But not so in my soul
	I loved
	I swear I loved
	Else why this pain
	When of my will
	I opened up the door
	And swept the space
	Where I swore he’d remain
	And something dies within me
	As I sweep
	As something new is born
	In every tear
	Past years of memories
	I long to keep
	A future
	That I both long for
	And fear
	There really was no question when it came
	This shooting star
	Both fire and gentleness
	Who never gave me time
	To make my choice
	But made my will
	His own with each caress
	For once
	And only once
	I did not think
	Where I should feel
	And for that I was proud
	But it was one thing to enact the part
	And something else
	To say the word aloud
	For once I had
	I felt
	A shadow fade
	Which over me had hung for all these years
	And no true loss
	In all the world could match
	The sense of someone
	Passing
	With my tears
	I hadn’t known ‘til then
	How lost I was
	Enveloped in this mist of my design
	So much of me
	My muse had thus become
	That in my eyes
	No star was seen to shine
	Unless it bore
	Some of my phantom’s light
	Or carried strains of music in the beams
	Until my soul was open to the view
	No man could enter
	Except in my dreams
	It’s over now
	And I am not afraid
	I know full well
	What I am meant to do
	But late at night
	When I recall my muse
	I cry for us
	As though he ever knew
	That I had waited years
	To hear my name
	Once spoken
	As it should have always been
	I’d wait there still
	But someone
	Real appeared
	And stole the heart
	No man could hope to win
	If to my muse
	I’d ever said hello
	It might not hurt this much to say
	Goodbye
	But there is something
	Tragic in this scene
	Which may appear
	As joyous to the eye
	Of anyone who witnesses myself
	Bound in the arms and lips
	Of my new friend
	Completed in a way I’ve never been
	And healing wounds
	I thought would never mend
	The truth
	That shattered my reality
	The soul I dreamed
	But never thought I’d meet
	And now I don’t look back
	Except in dreams
	Yet when I do
	The pain
	Is always sweet
	For only pain can show me who I was
	And from that girl to me
	How much I’ve grown
	I’ve never tasted tears
	Like these before
	And yes
	They are the saddest I have known

	I' ve never tasted tears
	Like these before
	And though they are the saddest
	I have known
	Their simple cause is none but
