By Remorse seeps into my heart
Displacing the warmth of happiness
Trust, I do not
Love, I am afraid to
Sacrifice, I refuse to
The mind is unreasonable
And endlessly protects its reservations
I revel in the self-imposed exile
From the chaos of dichotomy
Kindness, I need to offer
Friendship, I turn to
Hope, I must give
The heart is always hopeful
And offers love unconditionally
