I call out to you,

Turn not away thy face!

My love is unchanged.

Am I not as you like?

No...

Speak not a word,

For I fear it's the last time I shall hear your voice.

For all your airs and graces,

I love you still.

Unable to escape your clutches,

I linger.

You flow through me like a river,

Ravaging my soul,

Invading my every thought.

I fear I'll go mad in my longing for the whole of you.

You touch me now

And my spirit weeps.

In an attempt to escape my pain,

I try to weave all things together,

I say to you

Eden is about us still.

Come,

Find joy where there is none.

No....

Forgive me,

Let me be lost.

Before my eyes I am withering away,

And now I wander

In search of provisions

For I have none.
