" BECAUSE CAUSING YOU PAIN..."

I know that you want more
Afraid,your own winsome desires
Afraid, that without your daily disguise
I may be the difficulty in your pink panties
That singular self admission
I may dare, to break your heart
Tear, your idealistic dreams apart
Did you know I can hold your heart
Feel your life-force dripping through my hands
Know you to the place, where no one understands
Burdened me with the unnatural responsibility
Of loving you so Mount Everest
That climbing the source of your burgeoning
That the trek before me
Could be my death
And the core understanding
That "Love hurts"
Beyond all initial
Happenstance,
And re-occurring nightmares
Of breaking your heart
And then killing myself
Because causing you pain
In any fashion
Is beyond my most noble intent
Or comprehension.....
