I Cannot Love You
I cannot love you..the ability to love is not in my sight-
To love you I must first learn what it means to be loved.
I must summon the creator himself who first loved me-
In hopes to embrace you..I must first renew my mind.
For my mind has the ability to procreate what once was-
To love you beyond now means reminiscing about then.
To see you the way you truly are, I must surrender my sight-
It beholds nothing but the many useless broken promises.
I cannot sense your touch for there is intimacy to be found-
Each one meaningless..for I've felt each of them before.
All had their place yet left my hopes and heart broken-
No, I cannot truly love you unless I totally renew my mind.
