The Body of a Man
I am strong, but around you I get weak,
Whenever my heart starts to beat too fast,
After remembering a lonely past,
Or whenever my eyes begin to leak.
When part of me begins to reach a peak,
I try to hide the rising of the mast,
Before the measurement becomes too vast.
A measurement, of which, I can not speak.
When around you, I lose complete control
Of all of the functions that I hold dear.
Your pressence seems to only play one role,
Like kryptonite, whenever you are near.
Because the thought of you starts to console,
I accept it without a sense of fear.
