No Life To Live If No Love To Give
Deplete, I am, of selfless love
My heart has none, no none to give
Yet, remorse I feel of love now gone
For upon love’s death, I shall not live
Without a love to then bequeath
To earth, these bones descend beneath
If one would fill these hollowed walls
The chambers bare, where love resides
I then shall live and to give, I shall
Of all the love, then felt inside
My heart rejoices, no more deplete
That absence then, fell to defeat
