It's taken me a while to get something here, really had a strong desire to "reply" to 4P. It's not what I initially imagined but I like it anyway. Makes a nice bookend I think. And a couple of nice "tricks" in it that gave me pleasure to write.
I'm sorry darling that I distinguish
What I show and how I feel
Your love infects me like possession
At your feet I bow and kneel
It may happen in conversation
I wear a mask and show restraint
You must know that I adore you
And I'm showing what I ain't
Could I survive the raging passion
Endure sans cesse the touch so sweet
Every day I would expire
Denied convention's clemency
So watch: I'm bland; see: I'm insipid
I've covered up the shameless beast
Who waits supine, dying for you
While I pretend to care the least
I'm sorry darling that I distinguish
What I show and how I feel
Your love infects me like possession
At your feet I bow and kneel
It may happen in conversation
I wear a mask and show restraint
You must know that I adore you
And I'm showing what I ain't
Could I survive the raging passion
Endure sans cesse the touch so sweet
Every day I would expire
Denied convention's clemency
So watch: I'm bland; see: I'm insipid
I've covered up the shameless beast
Who waits supine, dying for you
While I pretend to care the least

Oh man I love it, it's even Dorothy Parkerer than mine is. Is meant to go to the same tune?
Not really, but a similar one.
