Sword Sharpening...
A sonnet by Acean
How can I explain
that when I said "no",
there were a thousand reason, Gabrielle,
why it had to be so.
You don't know who I am, whats inside of me.
The fire that smolders, the anger barely
controlled is something I can't let you see.
You don't understand the instinct to strike, to fight.
Making passion and pain blend into shades of grey
confusing wrong and right.
I know you want to be closer, Gabrielle.
But how close can I let you come.
If you see all that is "here",
I know you'll turn and run.
So leave it be, please, you have to let it go.
If you will, then I can and I have to. This is
harder than you'll ever know.
