#razmus

The fire burned three decades long,

Mind and body, beautiful, strong.

Whenever close, my passion grows,

So far away, like no one knows.

Unrequited love and strife

Cuts me deep just like a knife.

Inside my mind I see it all:

Should I speak, I'll surely fall.

All my courage wanes away

Every time I see her face.

Fearing that she keeps another,

Forgetting me, they love each other.

I scorn myself for all my fear

That she would look at me and sneer.

I'm cursed, I'm doomed, my ugly cage;

My fear, my doubt, my bridled rage.

Must I live this life alone?

Must I be lost and never know?

Locked inside, my words may never

Touch her ears, bound forever.

The Day of Valentine be damned,

I want to rise and take a stand

Without the festive need to spend

My money on bouquets of sin.

Fancy treats and jewels and gems?

Is that the way her heart I'd win?

That's not the way to show your love!

The truth comes down from up above!

So, Stephanie, please read this close,

It's the only way I can let you know

I want to be your one and only,

Never leave you weak and lonely.

That's all I really had to say.

With or without me,
