*one Of My Ancient Ones* 'A Chance For You And Me' Poem by Lesa MRK

When I go out to shop,
I can buy anything I see.
I could buy and never stop,
Everything is there for me.

When I need a friend,
Just to listen and comfort my pain.
The list won't ever end-
Friends pour to me like rain.

I can have anything I want...
I can have all that I need...
Except the one thing I'll never have-
A chance for you and me.

I could marry anyone,
All the men swoon at my feet,
But you are the only one-
And it's you I cannot reach.

I could touch the sky,
And bring a rainbow to my heart,
But it's all just a lie,
And you are the biggest part.

I could go anywhere-
Sail the world in style,
But when I go everywhere,
It's you I am loving all the while.

I could wish upon a star....
Stare at the deep blue sea.
I could search wide and far,
And never find what you are to me.

I can have anything I want...
I can have all that I need...
Except the one thing I'll never have-
A chance for you and me.

Baby, I hope you understand,
I'm losing my strength inside.
It's more than I can understand,
So I hang my head and hide.

Everyone sees me smile,
Thinking I am happy all the while.
The truth is no one can see,
The tears falling deep inside of me.

People give me seashells,
And I am given gowns to befit a queen-
But I am not in Heaven or Hell,
Just somewhere in between.

I could live anyplace,
And have all the servants I could hire.
Well, if that's the case,
Why can't I have you if I desire?

Now my friends all look at me,
Their eyes all full of sympathy.
I can no longer hide how I feel,
For the pain is far too real.

I can have anything I want...
I can have all that I need...
Except the one thing I'll never have-
A chance for you and me.

So don't come knocking at my door,
Knowing I don't mean anything anymore...
Forget me if you can-
Even forget my name....
For I wish I could do the same.
