I love you
with an asterik
Please let me explain
I never, ever, ever thought
that I could feel again
Most days
I don't want to feel
most days I just get through
I haven't even
half a heart
with which to beckon you
I have no dreams
to share today
life's 10 minutes
at at time
Even my soul
is something
I no longer
can call mine
I cannot trust
my choices now
hope betrayed deflates
disabling me from
responding to
the one at my gate
Is the image
that I see
helping hand
or sword
Deliverance from drowning
or just more
black cords
Unable to perceive
too well
from this lowly
vantage point
How can I
in this state
true love
annoint
Perhaps only time
will tell
perhaps a heart
can heal
Perhaps the bittersweet
of life
shows us
what is real
But for now
I cannot tell
fantasy from true
And so it's with
an asterik
that I say
I love you
