E. H.
Oh! The pain!
First love denied!
I’ve searched in vain,
My heart has sighed.
Does her heart glow
Of me the same?
Does she know
Of this loves pain?
I dream at night
Of this loves loss,
Hope hubris might
Cause paths to cross.
But oh! My guilt
It holds me back,
My darkness spilt
So hope I lack.
Is her life full?
Does she love aught?
My selfish goal
Does it mean naught?
If we should meet
Again this life,
‘Twould make so sweet
This lost love's strife.
