Spent so much time
convincing, reasoning, assuring
that this heart is
unneeded, useless, a burden
It's awake now though
hungry, empty, on fire.

At the first touch of her lips
awakened, hypnotized, soothed
Not sure how we fit
far apart, different, complicated

But the very thought
uplifts, excites, distracts
The world could yet
amaze, reward, destroy
