I Would Love You If I Could

There seems to be a gap in thought,
A missing portion of my mind,
Where romantic intention would be.

What wraith on me had life wrought,
That in such pathetic state I find,
Such a crucial piece missing from me.

And now I know you my sweet,
Enchanting to the very soul,
I’d do anything, I would.

But my very heart is effete,
I am far less than whole,
But I would love you if I could.
