i desire to be with you
but to that i must refuse

your honesty
and undeniable charm
but it simply cannot be

your tender eyes
your foolish heart
i want them all
within your flawless acts
but i must repel

you have your own demons
       and so do i
you bear a hundred complications
       and times a hundred more is mine

you've endured a lot of things to be sane
        and i don't want to be another pain.
