Gyroscope
I already know that she is not right for me -
So why do I persist in this foolish infatuation?
Maybe because I have found no-one else,
And cannot forget her -
As for each multitude of differences I see
Can be drowned and forgotten by
One smile,
A meaningless hug,
(Infatuation...)
And a single thought that she might be happier because of me.
It seems that this mind has little or no power over this heart -
Which could one day be useful and beautiful -
But for now only prolongs and heightens the pain...
Ah - such foolishness!
Why is it always there!?
Perpetuating,
Hurting,
Be it one girl or another -
Ever is my heart ruling,
For worse or for...
