Why did I look at you
Even when I know
It means nothing to you?

Why did I call your name
Even when I know
Your feelings are still the same?

Why did I touch your face
Even when I know
I'd be falling from grace?

Why did I fall in love with you
Even when I know
I can never be with you?

I want to share
All your joys and sorrows
But you will never care
'cause I'm just a little sparrow

We live in different worlds
But I still refuse to see
You and I can never be together
We were never meant to be.

I can relate to the questions you ask. Perhaps we all have a morbid desire for the unattainable at times. Great work!

Don't we always want most what we can't have ? I know, I'm an expert in that area

We begin life crying, we end life by dying, in between it becomes what ever we have the courage to make it bill

So sad.  So much in life that we desire seems as if it's not meant to be, but there really is so much else to be had that can heal the wounds.  Beautiful poem.

Yes, it's sad...and the cold reality that sometimes exists is a barrier between something great that could happen. Now I have a reasonable idea as to where my stories of fantasy come from! Thanks for the read, Koon, wish you'd post more often in the Pub!

How can I live when my heart is beating in someone else's hands...

i can relate in a different way. i gave my love to one knowing he couldn't love me back the way i needed him too. and stayed knowing he would never change. one day i realized i couldn't do it any more. you live by taking your heart back into your hands and protecting it till the one who deserves it comes asking to have it. a great poem.

good job koon   I suppose we all want what we don't have ... but how do you know you really can't have it until you try?
