Love backfire
As I love you
more with my heart than with my body,
more with my soul than intellectually,
more with my mind than with my brains,
you vanish to withdraw into some nothingness,
in a vain effort to a kind of self-effacement
only to an opposite effect:
the clearer and more lovable and gracious you appear,
and the more solicitously I must love you.
It is in vain you claim to be a fake
and come with futile warnings,
they must only have a direct opposite effect,
like fuel into a fire that can never die,
and that is how love works:
the more you fight it,
the more you must lose against it,
for the stronger it becomes.
