untouched love.

I admire her from a distance.
As you would a peice of art.
Afraid to say things that I feel.
To touch or share my heart.
My body is a vessel with a heart of stone with in.
I fear for all to see it ,Or to use it once again.
I wore it on my shoulder, for all the world to see.
It seems I gave it freely.
And it got the best of me.
If my life could be started over.
I would pick a different time.
One where I wouldn't know her.
Or ever have her on my mind.
If now I was struck with blindness.
If I could never see again.
Her face would never leave me.
Her love always within.
