Stare at the Sun

I would rather stare at the sun Than gaze into your eyes And appraise my reflection — Lord knows what they might reveal To me that I might appear indeed So weak-kneed, still — To not show you what you make me feel I would prefer to bleed To death by a thousand cuts Than bare my soul to the goddess of love and lost How I ache whenever you are near, Yet I would rather stare at the sun.
