Due Cause

If she adores each part of him, can he
Be sure that she won't take away the whole
Or any element; for synergy
Requires he's all there; and it's his goal
To ensure every motion's put to use;
He'd make her more content than anyone,
Who he's addressed in passing: they accuse
Him of neglect when he’s barely begun
To set out why he will reject advances
And turns away to focus on the need
To play the gallant role; and take his chances,
Which is a part that will, perhaps, exceed
The hopes of others and give her due cause
To be adored and enjoy his applause.
