The Only Love I'Ll Ever Know
The furtive temper of your quiet eyes
Was nonchalant with shrouded reasons kept
My love so humble from your death it cries
A poison pain drawn from life's blood wept
Precious pearls traced my face from weeping orbs
They came to rest upon my empty palms
To quell the worthless death my love absorbs
Rest of days, ascetic life offers alms
I'll wander finished through the years alone
And keep instruction with my beggar's heart
This rummaged soul another love won't own
To never more suffer a love's depart
My love will turn a darker veil of shade
The only love I'll know will never fade
