You were not A, but your false self, the glass I could not break
Without assuring self-destruction for blind hatred’s cowardly sake,
For in your contradiction hard glared my reflection not as A
And thus my anger at your scorn had in sweet tears to melt away.

You forced me A to recognise, you bared our lack of worth,
So I could take one first small step of knowledge on sure earth.
I won’t submit to sorrow for that failure to gain A,
Instead, I’ll thank you, mon Amour, ’til night draws closed my day.
