STAY

Come near do not take your gaze from mine The heavens have nothing on the stars of your eyes If you're willing take my hand. let our destinies entwine If not then fear not for your company will grant me respite A reprieve from the death of love unachieved The loss of my heart to an unassuming thief To be deprived of mourning causes even greater grief So stay even if to leave if best as you may believe Stay so your presence will shatter my deluded heart Stay so your presence will not be granted a deserters part Stay so that when I heal. my heart will be built anew Stay so that when your heart is given to another I'll be devoid of envy and my happiness for you will be true
