Boundless Love
I can’t love you the way that you deserve;
The way that you love me undoubtedly.
You overwhelm my thoughts, my heart, my world,
And yet you are completely unaware.
You cannot knowingly enter my heart,
For the wall of fear that you constitute
Within my heart protects me from the hurt
That I know will be inevitable.
It is painless to let my heart alone,
Let my pulse hasten from a cold heart’s touch,
To feel none but physical incitement
And let my heart stay free from devotion.
In this I control my own emotions.
In this I am safe from your boundless love.
