Say I Love You On Your Birthday

I Want To Say I Love You On Your Birthday,
Though Love Is Something You Don’t Want From Me.

Things Didn’t Go So Well When I Last Said It,
And So I’ll Keep It Silent In My Heart.

But How The Words Reverberate Within Me!
A Song That I Must Struggle Not To Sing,

A Music I Must Dance To Without Motion,
A Poem That I Must Never Read Aloud.

Your Wishes Are A Wall I Would Not Scale,
Yet Won’t Abandon, Loathe To Leave Behind.

I Cannot Have, And Cannot Bear To Lose You,
And So I Send You This In My Despair.
