Loves Burden
Loves Burden
So strong of body, muscle defying steel
so Stoic of nature, head defying, what the heart might feel
So focused, the path, so well defined
so measured the steps, the ladders he's climbed
She smiled at him, the sun falling on ice
she held him in her arms, a heart skipped twice, thrice
She spoke to him, of mice and men
she changed the course, the best laid plans, of women
What could have been, maybe, maybe still can
what options remain, emprisoned in her plan
He often ponders, what might have been
he struggles with what if's, opportunities unseen
He sinks to lows, never thought of when
he was strong of will, he never needed to pretend
How did a life, go so far astray
how can the cost come due, each and every day
How far off course, how far from home
how can this love burden, one who is so alone.
(Stoic)
