You are a beguiling charm - I refuse to let thinking cloud my judgment!!

You are a beguiling charm,
One I cannot resist,
There must be something I have missed,
For I am three quarters agony,
One quarter hope,
Hope couched in a love that evades me,
As I am irresistibly drawn to one I cannot have,
One I cannot keep.

I try to cope as I grope to find my way,
And realize if there is any shred of honesty  in me,
Then I can deny this no more,
For my salvation from these punishing emotions,
Lies in breathing out this age long wish,
Reintroducing you to the heart you colonized,
And captured and then abandoned two score years ago,
In pursuit of distracting adventures which now bring you home,
To where you belong,
What you have been looking for,
This longing heart,
I refuse to let thinking cloud my judgment!
