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.
though love is something you don’t want from me.
