It was to be an insurance against pain
The endless search for truth
And the tyranny of love
Locking my heart and throwing key
Just so I don’t love
Was meant to keep my sanity
And so I did
Yet now, here I sit
With a heart full of love
A rose in hand
A glass to lick
Dim lights above
Love out of view
A pale silhouette
Looking through an empty window
Brooding the guilt of not loving
