I do love her,
but in my own way.
Constant distractions
of passionate resolve.
Close enough now
I falter,
my dubious heritage
seeps to destroy again.
Excuses become reasons
to play a familiar role.
"I am better than this."
I gently remind myself.
Words betray feelings
when self-understanding fades.
I want it.
I want you.
I want everything.
Once more into the breach
dear friends.
I still do love her,
you know.
