Almost Close (Death by Association)

But for you, my love,
For you,
The same but something new.
You shocked me,
You drew me.
I wanted to be futile,
Weak and beautiful.
You could have done something special.
We could have been something great.
But for you, my love,
For you,
Brave and unspoken to.

But for thee, my love
For thee,
Brilliant but unseen.
With promises
We made to break,
And secrets
Meant to share.
I could have been something special.
I could have been something great.
But for thee, my love,
For thee,
Wild and obscene .

Please, my love.
This is something
I can’t see through.
God be damned.
Let anything but this
Be true.
