This Heart's Terrain
pain is this heart's terrain
even as the pleasurable truth sustains me
across the planes of the mundane
the ache of rejection and fear of love feigned
is so deeply engrained
that i have to strain just to abstain
from draining his love of every drop
of sentiment it could potentially obtain
my heart has reason to sing love-filled refrains
with beautiful melodies that neither wax nor wane
because it knows nothing of love lived in vain
but still i remain chained in shackles of self-disdain
as i helplessly watch myself imagining the inhumane
where only fondness reigns
it might be a struggle just to maintain
but i refuse to falter in my fight to reclaim
the gains that i've already obtained
pain might be this heart's familiar terrain
but today i journey across a new plain

I enjoyed your verbiage.
Dope! "it knows nothing of love lived in vain" is my heart's sentiment, as well. I love the wordplay in this one.
