Half a world away
You’ve got me feeling blue
Why can’t you just
Let me keep on loving you
All that I want to do
Is to keep on loving you.
I don’t care what has happened before
I don’t know what I want anymore
Except that I know that I want your love
And I fear, my dear, nothing else will be enough.
Once rejected, I’ll just try again,
Twice rejected, it amplifies the pain.
Thrice rejected, I’m wounded by your words
Four times rejected, I can’t do this anymore.
But my love still burns as if you’d said “yes”
And why this is, is anyone’s guess.
Love has escaped me
Love has passed me by.
So why do I bother?
And why do I try?
I try for the hope of attaining your favor.
And if I ever do, that’s a feeling I’ll savor.
My rhymes change in meter, in rhythm, and form.
My heart and my mind whirl round like a storm.
My soul has been ravaged for lack of your love.
Until we meet once again, up above.

geez, i feel like all i ever comment is that everything you write is good (probably becuz i do!) i appreciate your use of "thrice", thats fantastic! the only criticism i have for this would be that i'm not sure how i feel about the ending, idk, it seems different from the rest
