LOVE hurts but it's INEVITABLE. we got no choice

Hearts run red—
spilled across thoughts I cannot gather.
Mind too sharp, slicing myself with critique.
I hang in silence, gripping air,
while the world chants:
_"Leave her alone."_

But how can I?
Am I too much?
Too expectant?
Too desperate to be what she’ll never need?

The heart kneels—
a fragile worshiper at her altar.
Her name echoes, yet never rhymes with mine.
She is sacred,
and I am the trespasser.

_"I am someone else's property,"_
her mouth will say—
a blade against the hope I cradle.
Salt kisses the wound;
still, I whisper,
_"I will get her."_
Even as she knows—
oh, she knows—
how pathetic I’ve become.

I reach with broken hands
toward a choice I don’t possess.
Maybe that’s mercy.

Mama once said:
_"Don’t give up what's good—
Even if it's begotten in fire.
Let patience give birth."_

So I wait.
Not out of wisdom, but because surrender feels worse.
Is it worth it?
This ache?
This worship of something that won’t return?

She walks above me,
and I crawl in prayer,
burying pride to plant belief.
