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...
