I am a human being

With heart and soul

But on this earth I am crushed beneath the foot of the mighty

For so long I have hidden in the shadows

Avoiding the influence of your gaze

For so long I have loved you

Yet not even the power of love can remove this barrier

I fear that fate has decided

I will go from you

I will be parted from you forever

I will look into your eyes one last time

But know this

Never will I forget your unwavering kindness

Never will my minds eye look away from yours

That humorous look that gleams with affections too great to ignore
