I've lost, you know-- I concede, I surrender. Eventually, I will forgive (Myself) all of this. I love you. But I will not be The only heart at risk, Because like a secret, I am shadow-touched, But I do not belong In this kind of dark. I concede, But it is a only A momentary loss, Because I am too unruly, Too headstrong, And too much in love To wholly back away. I'm not waiting for you, But I'm not discounting you, either. I merely hope, though it is a hope Without breath or body, Just spirit, Just being. It may be enough, But it may not. I've lost, you know-- This slipping confidence Has turned to yellow spark, Dazzled by fear, mislead By the lull of a sudden silence. I cannot unmake my heart, But neither can I condone it-- Though now I laugh, At this, At you, At myself-- Because, truly, there is no choice But to love. |
