“Why do I love” You, Sir?
Because—
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answer—Wherefore when He pass
She cannot keep Her place.

Because He knows—and
Do not You—
And We know not—
Enough for Us
The Wisdom it be so—

The Lightning—never asked an Eye
Wherefore it shut—when He was by—
Because He knows it cannot speak—
And reasons not contained—
—Of Talk—
There be—preferred by Daintier Folk—

The Sunrise—Sire—compelleth Me—
Because He’s Sunrise—and I see—
Therefore—Then—
I love Thee—

Had I not seen the Sun
I could have borne the shade
But Light a newer Wilderness
My Wilderness has made—

I built this tall and thick wall
around my heart for years
for intentions I know would
protect me.
I've always been prepared with shields
which I never failed to raise
whenever needed.

Was I hurt?
No.

But I wasn't that careful on
choosing who I allow
to come in through this
tiny hole I've created only for
whom I thought deserved.

And now I find it hard
really, really hard

to let him out

for the wall might crash

along
with this tiny
beating
heart of mine.

You came for a reason
I fell with reasons I do not know
Now I have to let you go with
thousands of reasons.

Can someone tell me
how a heart could break
a promise
bound by the love it had given
like a rule a brain
hath set?

Perhaps
it is the most traitor
thing on earth..

it's willing to break itself
by breaking a promise
or a rule

or
both.

Once, you let
someone fill you
with joy
no one could have
done,
you've got
ten thousand
different feelings,
you honestly couldn't
contain the rest.


Stupid heart beats
foolish magnets
you lost the count

You were filled;
unaware of the wave
that'll drown you...

you were filled

to be

empty
.
lost
.
alone
