this pain
i can’t submit
i won’t admit
my heart’s too weak
irrationality’s inappropriate
this devotion’s dangerous
this restraint’s ridiculous
but i’m not sure
i deceive myself
i believe myself
my reason’s too strong
pensiveness’s profitable
this reticence’s rewarding
this preservation’s palpable
but my soul is crushed
my heart is burned
and my hands clutched
in dream and vision
but i dare not let go
