at the forfeit of philosophy

Love, we crave at Kings expense

		Sacrificing those whom...

as stress plagues thoughts.
On hope you cling,
to bloom like Spring.

Its fine my dear,
nerves can cause fear.
Don't be so scared,

You light the fire, then play the victim.

In fickle favor, in spotty dictionaries
My demure, distracted destiny
