i must...

By urbanhumility

i must...

I must tonight, reach deep within...

I must tell of all my frailty...
Its foolish life, its chance of "fading"....

Of all desire and tempting fate, turning all things wrong...

I must see the love of mothers,
I must feel my lover....

To belive in goodness.....

I must practice,
I must fool myself...

i lie and tell tales of virtue...

In this "belief" , in end, "it" is brought forth...

I must fashion....
I must make when all temptation is near.....

I must embrace the "adoration" of love,
I must be enveloped....

Or this vision is a lie, or this belief is dead...

Or my love,
or myself......

Fades away, never remembered never practiced....

i must...

i must remember....

i must belive......
