Hung In the Balance

My faith in you is naturally a dream

An everlasting peep at what I have,

It cannot be divine, yet is supreme

My finding you compares with this extreme.

Perfection is not granted for my touch

For is it not performed for God alone,

That loving you cannot be done as such

But giving it supports you like a crutch.

If love were easy, could it ever lose,

The understanding gained, if it were lost

Without the one I love I have to choose

Between unhappiness or this here noose.
