Unrequited Love © Holly Strain (Gothic Sanctuary)

Ghostly echoes whisper like waves gently caressing Scotland's shores…

Through the spectral mist you'll find me,

Awaiting my own funeral…awaiting your return,

When I die of a broken heart, please bury me in black velvet and white lace.

All I ever wanted was your affection…

But I guess that I did not deserve such delicate kisses as she did,

You told me you loved me once,

That was the happiest moment of my life.

If only I had known that your love was false,

Then maybe I would not be where I am today,

Abandoned, lost, unloved,

Refusing all others who appreciate my devotion.

And look at me now: a whispering shard of glass,

The mirror that reflected my confidence is now shattered,

Like my heart…you have broken everything.

Only you can put me together again.

And look at me now: a broken-hearted suicidal,

Ripped apart by a stupid boy like you,

I hate you, yet I love you, it's tragic…

But I cannot help the way I feel.

I am lingering by the graveyard, waiting for you to return to me,

Waiting for the opportunity to fall into your warm embrace,

It is an opportunity, which will never arise.

It is warmth I shall never feel.

Ghostly echoes whisper like waves gently caressing Scotland's shores…

And I know that someday, I shall fade away,

And become one of those echoes…no-one shall ever hear my tale

When I die of a broken heart, please bury me in black velvet and white lace.

I can feel myself withering away, wilting like the cemetery rose.

Another fatal case of unrequited love…
