I Surrender

It'll never work Not logically They say And they are sure to remind They are sure to define Their ideas And push them—unwanted—against me. It's not real They say Just a fleeting Biological response Where I'm me And you're the stimuli And they are sure to account They are sure to make up For all of nature’s ordeals. - - Don't hurt me Not again You say Just a simple recap Of the year before And I feel the guilt burn In my tummy. Don't leave me You say Or I won't survive This time And I picture you left Without comfort I picture My best friend And my lover. - - Shh. I say Be quiet Close your mouths And learn to listen. This feeling is not Science nor fiction It's the crafting Of two souls With ageless wisdom. Mera munda I say Look at me And his eyes Demand my attention Our gaze trapped by Adoration His feelings My only passion And everyone must see That my heart's been his Across lifetimes. I surrender. And my fate has been written Before time. I surrender. And I cannot control What was never mine. I surrender.
