Belief Does Die

In my aloneness,

I never dare to talk to you.

In my aloneness,

I never dare to talk to you.

After

Mingling

Your dreams to dust,

After

Betraying your love,

How can I dare to talk to you?

I know

You can't forgive me,

You can't

Forgive a flesh-eater,

You can't

Forgive a libidinous lover.

Though

I want to loiter again

Near your corridor

Like days of past,

My belief does die

And I totter.

Though

I am a changed person now,

Though I realize my blunder,

Though

I want to come back to you,

Though

I want to genuflect to you,

My eyes fear

To talk to your eyes,

My lustful lips fear

To deliver words

To convince you?
