Thinking in Rhythm

Why Can't I?

Why can't I just love you?

Why can't I?

I try so hard to

But love is not so effortless

I try to make myself

Fall in love with your smile

It somewhat even works

For only a while

Your persona is stunning

Always remember that fact

But it seems as though it is not for me

So sorry for your time

Why can't I just love you?

It would save me so much trouble

But instead, I disregard the close flame

And fly close to the burning sun

And I inevitably hurt my whole being

When I could have been warming up

Yet I never learn

And when that sun explodes

I look for another

Despite the ever-burning fire in my room

And the less I attend to the flame

The smaller it becomes

Until it is nothing but bitter ashes

I am sorry for making you so

Bitter and pitiful

And wasting your heat and brightness

While I went to look afar

All I need to do

Is just look closer

But I'm farsighted, really

So I'll have to wear glasses

You know what you should do, though?

You should find another hearth

Somewhere in Antarctica

So you can distinguish the warmth among the cold

And invite them to grow warmer

And they'll invite you to grow warmer

And your flame, your love, will burn for eternity

And that warmth will last forever

Don't worry about me

I'll be fine

That star could not make me

Any more blind than I already am

It will put away my coldness

Until I burn into nothingness

Because that coldness was all

There ever is, was, or will be

Don't waste your time on me

I'm tired of the coldness

but a mere fire like you

Could never melt the glaciers inside

Author's Note:

Don't worry, I'm not heartbroken nor emo.  This was just something I thought about, because that first question popped up in my head today.  The rest was me imagining what it would feel like in that situation.

So, did you like it?  I'd really appreciate some feedback!

I'm pretty sure you've realized this, but this isn't very much like poetry. I still hope you liked it!
