I must

If but for a moment I saw her, looming there before me like a lark

The soothing flesh from her shoulder bare, belays a truth,

One of comfort, arms enwrapped to cool the fire

That to my will burns from out my shadowed heart

Knowing only that I must

That I must follow.



If only I could her side make, my case laid before her step

My pain set aside for a day would be eased

That passion of bliss brought on by greed

My dark will filled her need

If only to follow

I must.



Darker now my hands the shadow of love bereaves

To take from her the will that feeds all my days

Knowing I the doom of all life must lie

These words spoken just to lye

Next to her soothing skin bared

That she might follow

If only the shadows would pale

Failing my heart

That I follow

I must.
