Description
What can I do to help you?How can I let you be?
You aren’t a perfect person,
but much more so than I can be.
I would hope that you find happiness,
Though I know it won’t be me
I can’t bare to see you suffer,
But you’ll have no help from me.
I want to fucking help you!
So why can you not see,
that , though a poet, I can love you
in ways other then poets do.
I don’t want to fuck you,
nor my ring upon your hand.
I only want to help you,
The only way I can.

"I want to fucking help you!"
as opposed to virgin help.
the only thing that doesn't fit, and i can't think of any grammar that would make is sound like you want it to.
i know it's supposed to be "S/he won't let me help", but it seems (with the modern grammar of the piece) that this doesn't quite fit in. maybe something like:
"I can't bear to see you suffer,
But you wish no help from me."
it clarifies an otherwise confusing phrase.

lol. "virgin help"
thanks for the thoughtful comment.
I've been looking at this one lately, 'cause I think it has some potential... and meaning... and stuff. And that line has been bothering me also. I think your idea might well do the trick.
I will prolly want to polish off a few other places on the poem, and add in your sugestion (I like it more and more the more I look at it), and then I will post version 2. or something...
thanks. you're awesome!
