#ICannotLoveYouMore

I cannot love you more

I cannot love you less

Instead, I will

Myself

This, the abyss.

I cannot hope the more

A hope unseeming less

If not this, then

A slight,

The unending bliss.

I cannot wait, no more

For before you, less

And lesser still

The night

Cold, dark, and this.
