My Dead Language

When you finally ask

When you finally ask

I’m not sure what I’ll say

I used to think,

I used to know

That I would always say yes

But this day unfolded

Into something so unpredictable

So I take this chance

To embrace lovelessness.

I am an admirer of love

Love has my admiration.

But my soul, perhaps not ready

For its simple abandonment

Because love makes you realize

The useless quality of almost everything else

You know as happiness

It is greatness

But such an untrue has left me wasted

Put off by a love

I only momentarily tasted
