Standing in the Way of Soulmates

Hinder the whisper
and the ache in my heart

I beg to differ
You've known me from the start

My ugly eyes, and ugly soul
Let the Legion in

I quake neath the harrow-
ing femininity within

Fragile the encounter
With a human I hold dear

I've never had an answer,
For self-hate always wins.

Leave me for love
The love I cannot win

Always in the center
Of my heart's cross and within,

I'm left bitter and in winter
And bearing all this sin.

I'm the measure of a man
Lovedrunk on these whims....
