Close the cover; another tear--
Set me aside; I've wronged you again.
Hide your face, speak no more:
I've caused you pain.
As if "look away" was scrawled here,
Nothing to hide, but you hid the same;
And here, open my door--
There, weep away.
In truth, you cannot hope to contain
As I cannot hope to satisfy
A craving for lost dreams,
Time lost to time.
When hope against hope will remain,
You yet envy my eternal life.
Written here now it seems,
"One day, you'll die."
My only wish then was to know
As were your intentions when we met.
Inside me lay the truth;
Now you regret.
An unkind word I had not known.
How was I to know you'd find it then?
Yet blame I take from you.
Yes, blame I get!

The hands that made me wept as well
To memories in me here expressed.
I watched your warm joy fade
Like all the rest.
Enraptured by my piteous spell,
Is it my cold life that you detest?
On your shelf I will stay--
"I did my best."
