Sorry Love

sorry
love for out of need
and practicality i,

who keeps my heart
below my head

has to feign you sometimes
for reasons that you
cannot understand

when i close my eyes
to kiss your lips
i am thinking of the future
of my world

keeping it away from utter destruction
from its
suicidal tendencies

and so tonight when the lights are off
i shed off
all honesty

i embrace you on another pretense
passionate and firm
