pain's river

that which brought us together
which held us so fast
our hopes for the future
and lives now long past

our hearts filled with love
and our bodies a'quiver
we fought and we struggled
held fast in pain's river

they said we were crazy
unhealthy, obsessed
but holding each other
is what we did best

in the end we are parted
but still held in thrall
our hearts always waiting
for our lovers sweet call

tomorrow, the night dark
full moon riding high
the wolf turns to magic
to help this love die

i will journey on foot
to stand by the lake
i will beg separation
an end to this ache

i will ask for our love
to be torn from it's root
and ended forever
my love words struck mute

i will pray with my being
and all i hold dear
requesting heart peace
and our memories clear

now i wait for the full moon
still bound by love's chain
my last hope in magic
to end my heart pain
