The Enemy Within
The enemy within is to blame for your pain-
To be sure, you must keep it at bay always and again!
Patience keeps you free, yet even mine has limits,
Be ever vigilant shall I- as love is within!
Think now as a rational trier of facts, outwardly-
Not must you hide behind your fear so cowardly!
With great power comes great responsibility-
To strengthen the human heart- fraught with fragility!
Why would you allow your own self-destruction
When diametrically opposed was such to our love's construction?
Only ever if you allow your mind to falter
Would you remove we two from our love's altar! ?
Think now of the decision you must make,
As it is this that decides the road you must take!
