Lover of Mine

Lover of mine, sweet bosom lover,
My heart trembles with every step we take,
Treading on a double edge blade.

With gentle love, caress this bleeding heart.
Fill this hollow skeleton with life,
Bring back the sunshine to these gloomy eyes.

And with a guilty blackened paw, 
I’ll clutch onto your pure heart.

For if nothing more, I am faithful
As sure as black is white,
As sure as poor is rich, 
And filthy is clean.

For with your love, there’s nary a thing,
A man could not accomplish!
