Thy Task Is Done

I resigned myself to be alone, when, lo, your lash cut to the bone! I stood still in the husk of stalwart stones, designs forgotten so soon, As I glimpsed 'pon starlight. Now my very blood has altered course, and my steps fall in a passioned march, Now I can see that there is nothing worse, than to thirst for you and ne'er sate the parch. The moon comes so soon, I move swift to take your hand, your eyes grow so soft, We twine ourselves into one, Destiny - thy task is done.
