[bodytext] => Lest I admit my defeat I turn my face from thee No, do not wander, down, where my lips are gnawed and do not trace them, ever, with a look that is so tender O! How I wish I could stand, independently Without leaning on any man; may the heavens fall to earth if I ever lean on thee! Do not brush your finger its touch so whisper light for I shiver in both fear and delight If my hand should be as white, as white as soft first winter snow clenched as tight as it could go, do not try to let it go Despair! Why? I cannot escape How I wish that I could flee my own defeat.... How I wish that I could flee; Willingly! ...Do not draw me closer... feet! dare not move Or rest my head on thy chest No! It is not warm! Do not utter my name warm against mine ear that it so completely seems Thou hold its owner dear! Love, I bid thee let me go... Lest I should admit... Do not gently stroke and murmer soothing words... Lest I should admit... all that I hold dear... all that I hold dear, is thee.
