Something Unbearably Pretentious

For You (to Never Know)

I love with weight that I cannot convey

A crushing word that I cannot obey

In part because you fear the act of gift

In part because of what my boon consists

What acts remain cannot reveal the truth

But acts in truth would neither lift nor soothe

And thus what truths I might have therein shown

For both our sakes are ever left unknown

Tonight I watch as distant stars collide

Two burning spheres engulfed in fratricide

The bloom of which unites with tears my eyes

But Lucy knows for what I truly cry

For selfish though it was to let my wont

To give a gift my love is ne'er to want

Become a knotted growth beyond control

I let this thing I yearn for devour me whole
