Cool Withdrawal From Love
Cool withdrawal from love
Do not think that I love you less
Than when at your mercy I lay
But to forestall the sad distress
Of forlorn love, I keep away.
Pipe dreaming for everything
Which I have known to be your traits
Your image to my fancy bring
And makes my age-old wounds to spate
But I do swear, and never must,
Your self-dispelled man, trouble you
In case I break, you may distrust
The oath I took to love you, too.
I have withdrawn myself from love
To make both of us safe, my dove.
