i do not wish to dirty the white veil <br />that covers the face of the one i love <br /> <br />truly as i kiss the white skin, i do not wish <br />to shed a tear, to spoil the purity of my intentions <br /> <br />my heart bleeds as you say <br />i do not love you for how can i really love you? how can i? <br /> <br />i understand how the planets move, how this galaxy takes care of its course, <br />there shall be no change <br />of direction, whatever, whether the reason be <br /> <br /> <br />the magical love, the fantasy of being, the all-out giving with nothing left, <br />a love so pure equated with zero, when you give everything, when you <br />crumple like a leaf, when you are consumed by the strong blow <br />of a sigh <br /> <br />i have loved you all my life and i have given everything i am all for you <br />what more do you need of my stupidity? you are the whirlpool <br />sucking all that i have, and i have let it that way <br /> <br />for nothing. <br /> <br />how can you ever love me? i too ask that, and i know the answer, but <br />unlike the planets and the stars and the galaxy <br />not swayed by pain or bliss, <br /> <br />i know the answer and i give back what i have taken. <br />i give back silence, and then i bow and then i die and then i am gone.<br /><br />RIC S.
