The real lover
The real lover has no means to express his love
because of shyness and fear of getting hurt,
he has no means to pay for his love because of no money,
no riches, no resources, no nothing,
so he dares not express it,
since he knows nothing is more easily abused,
more easily taken advantage of than love,
and the more so, the more honest and true it is;
so he just protects it by keeping it inside
to safeguard its honesty and keep it intact
for the true love that never comes;
since he has learned the hard way never to trust a woman
but only to love her the more
for paying for his faithfulness
by keeping himself buried alive
just to keep the constant slavework of his love
burning, if naught for else,
at least for consuming himself,
which he knows it's worth
keeping it alive
by suffering.
