DEEPLY Have you ever loved so deeply That each heartbeat causes pain? Or felt yourself so helpless? Knowing, should you try again That another small rejection - Though it comes with empathy, Would shatter you entirely Due to your fragility.   I tread the boards of sanity Wearing shoes of worthless lead, While visions of your sunshine Invade my heart, my soul,my head. I pray each day to see you; To share the briefest word; yet find that when i do I seek much more; I feel absurd. I'm tired of the torment, Of the groundless guilt and grief; I pray to find an answer That would spare me some relief.   I cannot help but love you; I've been enchanted since we met, But I cannot go through nicities To simply shield you from regret. I wish that I were man enough, To tell you how I feel: I did once in a verse In which my passion was revealed. To love you is to walk upon A field of broken glass, Yet I would bleed and shed no tears If, but this endless pain would pass.   Have you ever loved so deeply That each heartbeat causes pain? Or felt yourself so helpless? Knowing, should you try again That another small rejection - Though it comes with empathy, Would shatter you entirely Due to your fragility. ¤Aü§Póꆙ¤   2000                  View My Guestbook Sign My Guestbook
