My love has always been a passing phase,
a wind that slowly blows away.
Easily gone, and swept under the rug.
Never again would my heart feel the tug.
That was until you.
So cleverly did you slip into my heart.
A hidden attack unseen by my defenses.
A feeling that has been long forgot.
It has addled me, and made me senseless.
Why did you do this?
My old friend, Sleep, eludes my soul.
Just when I thought he was here to stay,
you silently shove him away.
The deprivation is starting to take a toll.
How long will this last?
Perfection is no one’s quality,
but you come pretty close.
Your soul is the essence of duality
that only your weaknesses expose.
Paradox is you.
Sadly, it was doomed from the start.
I will never have a place in your heart.
But from mine, you will never depart.
And that tortures me.
