Impasse

Yes--

No--

I can't and I won't.
Though I my heart may say otherwise. . .
I need your voice,
Need your laugh,
But I need your happiness above all else.
As much as I care,
I won't make you smile for long,
I won't make your heart race for long,
And when the stars leave our eyes,
We'll only have our resentment to keep us warm at night.
You already hate the core of who I am,
You just don't know it yet.
And if I said yes, I know you could never love me.
To say yes, would be to break my own heart,
We would never see the light.

But. . .
