Across Tic ... tac toe

I cannot fathom all my love for you.

Know, no knowledge of what's real is easy.

I try to give you all my heart in true;

will you accept my words, my heart, thus please me?

 

Not I, not you has all the answers now.

Marry! I cannot believe this passion:

you love and hate me with one heart but how?

For love is simple hate in simpler fashion.

 

You kiss me kindly, lacking any strength

(lack any vulnerability in that).

Kindness is not love to any length;

In love we're rarely kind. A lover's spat,

 

your bane--my kindle--falsely represents my

heart. Are we truthful when we fight; and why?
