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.
