stoic

 
hesitation in my sacred halls makes me doubt
inside I'm wondering where I went wrong
loneliness confounds me

in the hateful throng I'm out of place
secrets kept hurt my heart
your charming ways beguile me

it's so tempting to cave
and give in to my lust
an artform, is your style

so charismatic
silent in your approach
it's your allure
never saying too much

lonely I seek your company
to be reprimanded by your stoic demeanor
leaving me voiceless inside my grief

I alone bear it
time kept as a mistress of ego
leaves me full of sadness

provocative sin leave me
so I may go on without you
