Do Not Destroy

Do not destroy the joy of all we had The good need not be lost when lovers part. If you need space then take it and be glad. Because I love you, I shall now be sad But there’s no need to stab me in the heart Do not destroy the joy of all we had. With your loving words I once was clad Now naked to the winds, I must depart If you need space then take it and be glad. The only constant love is that of God No Eros is He with his arrowed darts Do not destroy the joy of all we had. On these forlorn, faint tracks I have once trod In my mind I search for ragged charts If you need space then take it and be glad. I have my maps and now am fully clad. With tenderness,farewell my dearest heart. Do not destroy the joy of all we had. If you need space then take it and be glad
