I Will Not

I will not bend, or even break Or join the floor when my knees shake Each time a single thought of you Is just too much to take. I will not falter, yield, or flee Or let you get the best of me Each time you flaunt your happiness For all the world to see. I will not weep, or shed a tear Or give your words a chance to sear Each time you speak without a thought For broken hearts so near. I will not.
