• Although my mind is muddled...

  Although my feelings fit their jagged ruts,
  For your sake, I'll forego the over-wrought lines,
  The adolescent pledges of romance.
  
  Although the well-worn thought-paths are the timeliest to trudge,
  For your sae, I'll sink my boots into the mud
  Of unexplored explanations.
  
  Although it'd be easier to coo benign lies through closed-and-clenched teeth,
  For your sake, I'll straigfthen my forked tongue
  And utter only truthfulness.
  
  Although my success would be more assured if I exaggerated my plight,
  For your sake, I'll contain my tangent
  For stretching realities.
  
  Although you might have me if I professed overpowering, undying love,
  For your sake, I'll say only what I know to be true:
  That I like you well, and no more.
  
  Although the potential pain of yet another rejection is insurmountable,
  For your sake, I'll fling myself from the familiar cliff,
  Praying that, this time, there'll be water in the canyon below me.
  
                                      ~
  
  Although at this point, my chain of premeditated language isd broken,
  For your sake, I'll attempt another stanza,
  Hoping that the loose ends will fuse themselves together.
  
  Although my words, when taken all in a bunch, fail to make a point,
  For your sake, I'll keep talking,
  Knowing that you're in love with the way I speak.
  
                                     ~
  
  Although I'll not be arrogant enough to believe that you'd stoop to my level,
  For your sake, I'll reach as high as I can,
  Waiting for my legs to stretch.
  
  Although It's unlikely that I'll be rewarded for my pursuit,
  For your sake, I'll chase the fabled beast,
  Seeking Affection with fervor.
  
  Although it's unlikely that you'll give me a chance,
  For your sake, I'll give you as many as you need,
  Sending Opportunity knocking in hopes that you'll answer the door.
