Because I Love Her

Am I not right
To fight for myself?
Is there some guideline
A law
That I am ignorant of
One that restricts my rebellion?

My heart played tricks on my mind
And mind played tricks on my body
My body plays no tricks
It is physical
It can sense the pain
The danger
It feels what I chose to ignore
To make way for her to enter in peace
And to comfort herself in peace

I was happy to be unhappy
If her happiness would be guaranteed

But now I see
That the torture I've imposed
Upon myself
Is needless

I can be happy
I can melt off these chains
And still be all there is to be
To her

I can smile
Painlessly

I can love
With no precaution

Thus from that thought
I will

Because I love her

Because I love her...
