I struggle,
with my own self,
between right and wrong,
that's where I stand.
My mind wants to do right,
but my body can't.
What brings me to you,
will surely suffice to
send me to hell,
within a matter of time.
I have much to loose,
and nothing to gain.
This passion, within me
I must condemn.
To hold you once more,
will tear me apart.
To set you free,
will liberate me.



A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

...It doesn't sound like you've got nothing to gain. And the passion is palpable! Good piece!
