My Anguish

I could give up on you.
Let lying to myself.
Become as comfortable 
as an old blanket. 
Unburden my eyes 
of your shape, 
of your smile. 
For dreams are for the dreamers. 
So I would drudge in reality. 
Lose myself in the geography 
of my mind. 
Yes I could do all of that 
but for the fact.
I love you.
