Internal Conflict

Turmoil and pain upon my soul,
� � � A ravaged battlefield,
� � � � � � � � Scarred and no longer whole�

My heart and my mind fighting for power,
� � �My heart won�t let go,
� � � � � � I won�t let these feelings go sour�

But my mind knows acquiesce I must,
� � �Accepting who and what I am to you,
� � � � � � � � �A friend with broken trust�

Oh how that word rings in my head,
� � �Echoing through the chasms of my heart,
� � � � � � But losing you is what I truly dread�

I gave my heart to you,
� � �And I don�t want it back,
� � � � � � � � �I don�t want to ever love anyone else but you�

And the empty cavity has been filled with my desire,
� � �Shackled down,
� � � � � � � It�s freedom never to transpire�

Deep inside this chest,
� � � Ready to burst,
� � � � � � � � � �Such emotion I can�t just lay to rest�

But you are not mine,
� � �I can�t give my love to you but I hope you know,
� � � � � � � � My dear I am thine�

And draining it would simply leave me hallow,
� � �Emotions left unspent,
� � � � � � � � �Wasted love and tears to swallow�

My heart won�t give up this persistence,
� � � �Holding faithfully onto this waning hope,
� � � � � � � � � � � Slipping slowly into nonexistence�

Oh god how I love you,
� � �But it�s unmatched in return,
� � � � � � � � �So I�ll hide my pain to keep you�

� � � � � � � � �And I love you and will forevermore�
