even though you're a pain in a place
where upon this page I can not speak of
in your eyes, that is when you choose to look
at me
I sense under that cool facade a bursting and
brilliant love
though you disguise your feelings and real reactions
to me so in variably well
whether you love or despise me I can't really tell
so, I live on in my limbonic version of hell
does the term 'unrequited' ring a bell
it seems you have me in your power or under some
kind of spell
these feelings of uncertainty I can not redirect
or quell
until truth can make itself fairly obvious or
known
you, Cockle bur, I must bid fair-the-well
and know that I am not sorry that for you
like a builder's bricks I foolishly fell.......
