I do believe that I have loved you since the beginning of time;
a soft sigh, a quick glance.
I hope you do not believe that bullshit.
How can anyone love another human being
since the beginning of time?
You swore to never abandon me and yet let us look around
I do not see a man standing near
waiting to hold my hand.
I see loneliness and pain,
strife and betrayal,
I see wars that you have fought
all in my name.
Why must you continue to batter me?
Force your way through the walls I have erected
never more shall I love you,
never more shall I give.
Begone, harry me no more, for I love you not
and cannot forever more.
