This one
This one is born of flesh
but deprived of feeling.
Oh, the impossiblity of it all
that one such,
who's heart mirrors the Night
should fly, should feel.
This one has been broken open,
and can feel you within.
It's not right, not wanted.
The feelings you leave here have
to much meaning.
So, let this one fall back
to the river of death.
Let this one be devoid of heart.
Bless this one with emptiness.
A little explanation to clarify things. This is a persona poem based on the greek gods. It is Hades inner monolog to his first feelings for Persephone. He loves her but he doesn't understand how to, and is fearful of what that love will do to him.
