Border line

The border

line fades

into the sweet

softness of

your gaze.

My heart

beats into

the words

spoken

truly for

only your

ears to hear.

It's a veil

that I cover

my eyes with,

made with lace,

made to make

all the things

you do, all

the half

truths,

make

them

look

like

love.

I won't give this

up just yet,

it's still sweet,

tender,

real. I won't

give it up,

but I know

I have to

give up

on you.
