So, here is your latest dose of torture. Here's hoping you enjoy. Please give your comments and feedback so I can finetune my torture techniques :)
When we were fifteen,
I heard her say in her heart, to me
'Will you love me?'
Her eyes were clear as the sky...
'I am incapable of loving,
Will you cure me, mister?
For my heart will, inspite of me, love you doubly back...
I might not say much through pursed lips
I might linger for long
Our first kiss
I might not be versed in the language of countenance
Nor understand the feeling tiding within
Will you love me, despite all this?
My black tangled hair, like the blackness within
Might come out to hiss
As I helplessly stand aside and see
Will you then have the masculinity
To forgive me easily
To consider
And show kindness
A virtue that will melt my heart like no other...
Will you love me, mister
A love simple, plain and honest
And beautiful as beautiful can be?
Will you hide a part of yourself
Forever for me to guess
So I love you a love boundless
And deep as eternity.'
I looked in her eyes
That bore deep in me
To one day, years ahead,
Understand me in memory...
So, much before I knew
My heart, despite myself, loved her so deep,
My heart loved her so true...
When we were twenty-one,
I heard her say in her heart, to me
'Will you hate me?'
A storm raged in her heart
Her eyes were torn and her soul divided
'I am incapable of loving,
Will you cure me, mister?
For my heart will love you doubly back
If you hate me with a passion...
I will look up to you
And worship you
So long as you despise me
I will despise you
If you love a thing like me
Will you be indifferent to me, mister?
So I love you a love boundless
And deep as eternity...'
