FIGHT

I tried very hard to ignore, but I can’t,

I came very close, but that is what I did not want,

Being close hurts you, but still you endure,

I want this end with grandeur.

I find it hard to express my feelings, I want them to know,

My dignity will not be sacrificed, I’ll not bow,

But it hurts as if I swallowed fire,

My heart burneth as my need is dire.

I feel the pain of watching her smile,

A hate to think what’ll others do, with intentions vile,

I have no way to ensure my respite,

I feed upon my woody inside, as does a termite.

A weight presses upon my chest, bearing it down,

Blood runneth the entire length of my dressing gown,

I become breathless,  with little to hope,

This separation is gruesome and agonizing to cope.
