UNCONDITIONAL

WATCHING RAINDROPS
ON MY WINDSCREEN
SPLASH AND RUN TOGETHER,
RIVERS POURING DOWN MY FACE
REFLECTED, LIKE A MIRROR.
THESE MY SILENT TEARS
WHICH AREN’T ALLOWED TO FALL,
CLOSETED LIKE DIAMONDS
IN A SECRET TREASURE HOARD.
THE AGONY OF LOVING
WHEN LOVE IS NOT RETURNED,
AND YEARS OF SAYING NOTHING
DENY A BROKEN WORLD.

WOULD CARE FOR YOU,
THE WHOLE OF YOU,
AND EVEN TILL LAST BREATH.
THIS STUPID CO-ADDICTION,
DEPENDANT, SELFLESS MESS.

CAN’T LEAVE FOR FEAR OF LOSING YOU.
CAN’T LEAVE BECAUSE I PROMISED TO.
CAN’T LEAVE BECAUSE OF CONSEQUENCE.
CAN’T LEAVE ‘COS I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU.
