3 Mere Words

It's times like these I wish to cry,
Yet all my tears are worn,
I feel the downside of my plan,
Right now, my thoughts are torn,

The plan is to withdraw myself,
So I need not feel the pain,
Though I feel, as I'm doing this,
My heart is under strain,

Amazing, how just 3 mere words,
Can set two souls alight,
Alight, and with great passion,
But with still the need to fight,

"I love you" now should it be said?
Those 3 mere words, in vain,
When tossed around so carelessly,
Can cause much undue pain,

And although I deserve no less,
For toying with one's heart,
To think of our love frayed and bruised,
Just rips my soul apart,

Oh, please believe that if I could,
I'd turn our world around,
You'll always be so dear to me,
To you, I'm always bound,

"I love you" there, it's plain as that,
Yet not small, as it seems,
"I love you" though I know I can't,
So maybe in my dreams,

For there I'll see you, there you'll be,
All for me to adore,
And if this would be the only way,
I'd sleep forever more...
