This is the creature which commands my heart?
Which demands my respect and defines my reasons,
For which I refuse to depart?
This creature in front of me.
What must I try,
Or even ask why?
Is it a need to impress upon the rest?
That I was I,
Or that she was somehow best for me?
For I have since gone on to see,
That she is but a creature,
And that I am but a small shard of humanity.
Is there proof of this,
Which I have missed?
Quite possibly.
Or am I somehow immune to the truth,
That I am the only one who sees,
Or that my soul alone is the one which pleads,
To be apprciated?
Would you tell me this?
Or is life just meant to be,
A bitter tasting hollow test which I must best,
In a single man’s own exclusivity?
Why must I define such a simple thing?
Why can we not just coincide with empathy?
But to say that joy and empathy are the same,
Is nothing more than a lie to me.
Only recently have I begun to understand,
That I must stand,
Alongside a girl who is not the result of a lesser man.
One who knows the self and serves not pride.
Show me such a creature before my eyes,
And my heart will fly.
Show me please. (:
