No other reason
then from the goodness of your heart
you act without needing to
and that is all that matters.

I hate to love you:
I am always yours,
I nor you are ever mine,
but as yours, as yours…as your only own…
I yearn…
for ours.

my lips are bruised
from too many bitten back words
the tears only make them burn.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
you say you shouldn’t say
but you say it anyways
what height do you achieve
in bringing down what you held so high
trodding on what you notice
yet don’t.
