Question


Judge not harshly, nor in anger,
For I am but a man in search
Of what I am,
And where I go.
How I love you’ll never know.

You know not why I turn away,
It’s not as seems,
I’m well aware
You’re but inches from my side.

Shall I, deferentially, try
To please in everything I do,
Unnatural,
Although harmless
As a painting on the wall?

I must be me, and yet it hurts
To be seen in this sordid light.

Let me but ask
“Do you love me?”
Eternity is then tomorrow.
