Too Severe Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Severe is the pain they keep deep in their hearts.
Severe is the agony that keeps them apart.
Although neither will admit it to quit or say,
Just how severe.
Yet they fear,
Not being with each other.
Or being near.
They're just...too severe.

Too stubborn not to give their stubbornness a quck check up.
And too stubborn not to brush away their foolish stuff.
They are...
Too severe,
In the playing of this game they are...
Too severe,
Overplaying in a game they are...
Too severe.
Too restrictive and fearing in their stubbornness,
They are...
Too severe!

Too stubborn not to give their stubbornness a quck check up.
And too stubborn not to brush away their foolish stuff.
They are...
Too severe.
Severe is the pain they keep deep in their hearts.
And severe is the agony that keeps them apart.
They are...
Too severe.
Too stubborn not to give their stubbornness a quck check up.
And too stubborn not to brush away their foolish stuff.
They are...
Too severe.
In the playing of this game they are...
Too severe,
Overplaying in a game they are...
Too severe.
