From the desk of Mr. Janzen: Child if I told you

Even a cold black heart beats.

Child,

If I told you,
that I loved you,
Would you weep?
Would you laugh?
Would you smile?
Would you gasp?

Or,
Would I arise the next day,
Without your cheery eyes,
Without your clever sneer,
Without your solemn lips,
Without your voice so cear?

Tell me.
Tell me, so that I may be warned,
and never say what I long for you to hear,
So that the pain of the consequences
is not greater,
Then the pain of this known
secret.
