Like a parched desert yearning for rain
weathered have I the storms of life
quenching my thirst, you soothe my every sense
for with you, I flourish and bloom
I lost my heart to you.
Keen as a dagger, sleek as a blade
your words cut deep
severing, wounding, cleaving our love
what have we done to earn this pain?
Infallible is my love for you
willing am I to surrender
to let go of every altercation
it’s only you that I seek
obsessed am I with your love.
Overwhelming is this fear
a foreboding shadow
of our inevitable separation
permeated have you
in every fiber of my being
how am I to live without you?
