Nothing To Lose

My heart is at sea in the diversity of our intention,
And there's nothing but blame, and defame, on my face.

Sadly, the reason to explore further, and the capacity,
To reconcile the margins of our acceptability; is no longer there –
For somehow, I let it vanish into thin air.

And now, my heart thinks our love was weightless, and made no sense after all!

But in truth, it was I, the novice, who felt beautiful all the same.
