Farewell To Love And Loveliness Poem by Nyx C Styx

farewell to love and loveliness
had I been otherwiseI would be better
had not I sworn off the love
that came the day I met her
had not the dream distanced me
so much from life, had not life
distanced me so much from the dream
I would've found purpose in this strife
and now love and loveliness that waits
by my door, I cannot come to your reply
for fear that I cannot last as long as you
would have me, It is I who will deny
