La Douleur Exquise

My soul did know he couldn't be mine
yet how dare my soul did cry
and yearn a dream that never could shine
time never healed an aching heart
for the soul did thrive off tears and blood
bleeding from the scars of a longing heart

My soul did know they wouldn't come true
the things I imagined of me and you
oh! how fascinating we yearn for pain
and thorns that prick and stab over again
oh! how we love to knit our obsessions
of a blatant love only the heart would treasure;

the pathetic pain that grows in my bones
over years and years I've lost the count
life's like a song stuck inside my head
singing of a loss I could never replace
a person that I never had
the weakness I'll always have
however hard I ever try
I know I can't let go
