No matter how wise I feel I’ve become,

And if I feel the world I float above,

Just one glance and I remember I’m dumb —

The wise man is rendered a fool in love.

And these dams of logic built to contain,

With their towering walls terribly tall,

Are just not a match for your loving rain —

Your flood destroys them all and makes them fall.

A helpless fool carried away to sea,

It was delusion to think myself sane.

And though you have certainly set me free,

And annihilated each of my chains,

Some part of me wishes that I could flee,

Because I’ve come to see that love is pain.

But now you’re forever a part of me,

On my heart an irreversible stain —

The deeper and deeper I hold you dear,

The more and more my heart becomes exposed.

I’m slowly swallowed by more and more fear,

My heart had spent way too long being closed.

As my state of shock slowly dissipates,

I comprehend I’m the one you’ve chosen.

The flatline ends and I resuscitate,

My heart melts and is no longer frozen.

If your source of heat were to disappear,

My heart once again left without your light,

I could not go on if utmost sincere…

I think I would have to give up the fight.
