And Heart Be Still

Reject this love Though drawn to it, Let it not take root And rule your veins, Let it not breed A moment longer, Or take refuge in your dreams And brains. Reject this love With fist of fury, Be dammed before You sip its glory, Reject its tune, Reject its taste, Reject the urge to quench That thirst, Reject this love though you may burst. And heart be still. Reject its color And its gold, Reject sweet lies that it has told, Reject its call, Though torn apart Let not this thing Consume the heart, Too love, is bitter sweet indeed, Reject this want, Reject this bleed, And heart be still. Reject this love It can not be, What burns inside Do not set free, Reject desire, Reject the sun, For no light shines when day is done. Reject this love, And heart be still, You beat to fast You weaken will. Reject this sugar, Reject this sting, And pray it not find entry Through the cracks that weep within, And damn you heart. Who trembles on Reject this love And heart be strong
