Down with love I used to say

Ordered life was what I'd claim

No nonsense ever to invade my hypothalamus

Winner is she who is strong and unwilting

Every fiber uncompromising, every sinew independent

But something has changed, something's come up

Senses awakened a different depth

Trailing emotions once undistinguished--subdued

Exhaling rationality I embraced you

Ruined philosophy I stand defiant

Numberless dreams I've slumbered into

All nonsense, everything about you

Run for life my brain screamed

Inhibitions clouding my perception

Only a shadow stands in our way
