Death to my dream
My heart broke
with each of her hugs.
Great my sorrow
Sweet her smiles
gentle her laughter
All killing me.
And she unaware.
Instead of me
another walks her side.
Forever my enemy
Killer of my hopes.
Ever my beloved...
Tracking you through the ages
Haunting my dreams.
Driving me to madness.
This the moment to meet
First in a thousand lifetimes
Cruel is my fate...
she with another not with me.
