Threnody

Oh please love of mine, hear what your man
Is telling at last, damned as the fire
And doomed as the river

I want to tell you just before we run dry
Before Dawn sees us falling apart
I would kiss you again…

Tell me you won’t try to keep in your heart
The gold of our nights, the pain in our eyes
Oh it never felt more bitter

On the last day that will see us arise
As lovers, on that January night
I would kiss you again…

Will you give me on the day
That you’re going a last kiss
For the years that roll ahead
For the pain cold as death
Spent alone, each day wrong
Each day twisted, till I fall
On my knees again,
My hands strong,
My heart shot again
My soul gone…
I would kiss you again…

Oh please, love of mine…
