Loneliness

My heart has gone afoul
Compelling me this way,
Believing that I was immune
Proving much to my dismay.
Distressed and unaware
As to what this may imply,
I sought divine direction
Hoping that I could deny,
The nature of these feelings
Bringing woes onto an end.
And bring me forth to safety
Forcing havoc to a fend.
Unfortunate the answer
Heaven’s messengers convey,
For in light it is the truth
Though it‘s much to my dismay,
It appears my heart has fallen
For a beauty from above,
Whose visage makes me quiver
At the notion of her love,
And so I am perplexed
The course of action to partake,
For either choice I opt for
My soul do I forsake.
