A shadow of passion
Burns in you reyes
You speak of him softly
Because of all your failed tries
Your hand trembles
And your whole body quakes
You want another chance
No matter how high the stakes
A single tear
Glistens down your face
And I can tell by your speech
Your heart's quickened its pace
I look at you sadly
As disappointment hacks at your soul
This true desire
Has taken its toll
I want to set you free
To let you know you aren't alone
But no words can help you
You must handle this on your own
With your eyes asking my blessing
You whimper in pain
I nod my head
Though I know you've nothing to gain
WIth that you rise
And flee this lonely place
I wonder if he'll beat you
In this time-jumbled race
I hear his last moan
As you reach the door
A smile crosses my lips
He'll beat you for nevermore
