Dare Not Speak Thy Name

Pray thy love I dare not speak its name, For if thou seed of love that I planted within my heart was but that of a sorrow plant, It's leaves have reached out to the heavens and it's buds in bloom, It's thorns now digging, scratching and tearing at my heart, Pray thy desire for I dare not speak its name, For if a ray of want was to pierce through this darkened sky then I should cower beneath a branch, It's shadows cast me within eternal darkness during the day, It's deprivation of gods light keeping me where I shall belong, Pray thy life for I dare not speak its name, For if new birth were offered to thee I would not take it but rather be buried in soil, It's dampened nature suffocating what breath I still have left, It's mercy of an eternal slumber I shall welcome not with fear but with a sigh of relief, Pray thy name my love for thou must never speak it again.
