Emotional Wreck
I was intending to express my fear,
But quit that thought, as giving things away.
Rethinking my position, pure dismay
Gave me a turn, then sadness. It was clear
That terror could be turned off by a tear,
So I explained that to the men who stay
In my sub-basement, working night and day
To rid me of regret, love, and good cheer.
I was intending to impress my friends
With just how little evidence of soul
I could display, how feelings take their toll,
But I forgot the means, then skipped the ends.
My heart will be something no one defends,
And my emotions all under control.
