The Ghost of Edgar Allan Poe Possesses Me

Why did I find you lovely Not as an insult but of my own falling out I do not think I was even in love Why do relationships come and go so fast Lovers lasting only weeks at a time A fear of love I assume And I am the one being afraid Do not come near me, women of soft wax, daughters of Icarus For I am the blinding sun, passionate inferno How do I go about ending a beautiful thing How do I end the life of a snow white fawn
