The Sweet Nothing

c'est la vie

i have nothing to offer you

a sad and sorry truth

all i have is how i feel for you

that’s just me so what the use

 

i can’t take you away from all this

though i sorely wish i could

i can’t even tell you how i feel

and this i know i should

 

i’m no dashing knight of old

and you’re no maiden fair

why this compulsion to rescue you

i’m not even sure i’m ready to share

 

i can’t say when it happened

but it did and now i’m here

basking in the soft warm glow

i feel whenever you are near

 

all i have is my heart

and the feelings i have for you

and push comes to shove

-            if this is real love

there’s nothing i wouldn’t do

 

but i lock myself away

and hide, from me and you

because, quite honestly

i don’t know what to do

 

sad poetry
