The pain in my heart is so acute
that it transcends my reasoning.
My knowledge of you is so astute
and yet this is not a new beginning.
How can you be so safely behaved,
if I need to live my life from you depraved?
I do not want to give you up!
Instead, I want you ever near.
Yet, hope will simply have to stop,
for you will be gone, I fear.
May you never know how I loved you,
with a love that is steadfast and ever true.
The time has come for me to go and I can not return,
my writ will prove I loved you so, but this Ill have to burn.
