I fall to my knees,
A senseless defeat.
For my skull is fractured,
My life is beat.
No longer shall
My heart be subdued.
As long as there
Is you.
I think of you
My heart flies.
Then I think of her
And it begins to cry.
You have no reason
To think me weak,
But maybe, because of you
You can think me bleak.

This is about unrequited love. I went through this and am going through it again.
