Lover's Lexicon

The emotions of his heart rage through his faltering mind

As he pretends it’s all copasetic he’s dying inside

His ascetic hopes are forlorn, mislead

Yet his vitriolic speech is calm, yet feigned

The deceitful gaze of one who’s dead

This tormented anguish is where darkness reigns

 

The subversion he’s endured to show her his integrity

The staunch defense he supplies is his loves continuity

Yet truth be told to him it’s all illogical

To him the words are more unsatisfactory than death

A claim of love leaves his heart more thoughtful

Since the same claim of love still resounds in his head

 

Now I don’t know how well you understand most my words

But what’s being said is what you’ve already heard

There’s more to it though if you can’t really tell

But you’ll know who I wrote about hopefully

And all I’m tryna say is… umm… well…

I do love you and hope you feel the same about me…
