Choosing between confusions

Because I refuse to acknowledge death
I will write instead
Of unrequited love
Because while there is no hope
For the living
In death
There is always hope in love
Unanswered or otherwise

Sweetly frustrating
An engaging diversion
Some kind of awkward dance

Not like the dirge that should distract me now
That I will not hear
For I am not ready
Nor will I ever be
