Subtlety's Warning

Forewarned with subtle, wistful gazes —
tore you, my mental warning hazes.

Forlorn inside, the contempt to hide;
bore to my sad attempts — I’ve lied.

Though suffered through with such distress,
I know it’s you that breeds duress.

Is my warning felt without knowing —
this honest plea, dealt throughout showing?

I know I loved what would’ve been peace,
though you’ve shoved wisdom away; it’s ceased.
