yet still i find myself...

would love help mitigate
what we have shared, we two
would love really make the difference?
what can i say
but im sorry i never loved her
nor do to this day
yes it is lust that fires my loins
burns at my brain
that and nothing more im afraid
does this make me hollow
too shallow in ways
then that is also a part of me
one i grant and can see
i was there for the birth of my daughter
was there to have and hold
i was there for my wife's cancer
before the operation i was the last she saw
and after as she awoke i was there first of all
i held her and still do
in all her moods
for i do love her
and yet
i find myself still
full of fantasies grip
i taught my wife english
taught her that and far more
taught her here she was free
none have control
and yet
i find myself still
do i know myself?
yes far better then most
am i blind to anything i do or see
no this i don't believe
yet still i find myself
