The Weakness of Love

If to Love is to be Weak,

Then weakness I seek;

Till I've strength no more.

And when strength has all fled,

And tears, all done shed

I'll have opened the Door-

Where Love hides behind,

Has kept me blind

All this time...

So that now I can See.

Hold your arms out to me

...so that we can hug

    for Eternity...

In the darkness I writhe,

The inevitable Goodbye

Haunting my Soul.

And I fear it shall come

When you've had all your fun

And I've paid the Toll.

But for now-  I don't care.

For as long as you're there,

So is my Ground.

But if ever you leave-

Lead me to believe

That Love is Sound...

In my Tears I will drown

As Light turns to brown,

and I'm falling down.

Down-  further down...

Love's Arrows have found

The spot

That heals not.

-And it's come down to this-

The deep dark Abyss

Where I long for your kiss.

...and Cupid hangs near

with a vicious leer

for my pitiful tear...

An Eternity of Fear.

Fear turned to Truth.

Truth about Love;

and how Weak I was
