“When Love is an Affliction�?BR> By: Brandon Moore
When love is an affliction There's not much one can do Despite the way you’ve treated me I am still in love with you
I am the wave and you the rock Against which I must break Again again the crushing jolt The pain I can’t forsake
Again again the long retreat To safety far from shore And then again I don’t know why The long trip back for more
Perhaps it is nostalgia for A long uncertain glow Or just some hope so beautiful I cannot let it go
Perhaps it is the need to try For those who must depend On whom we are and what we do For whom this should not end
What evil makes you hurt me so? What defect of the heart? What sense there is no greater whole? Of which you are a part
What lonely choice that only you Be served by what you choose What a hard hard fear of loosening what It is a gift to loose
I dream sometimes my waiting love Has made you turn again But you care only for yourself And I must love in vain.
