Your love is sacred Category: Writing and Poetry Your love is sacred Not tarnished by the world of sins Not sold to the highest bidder Your heart you have protected From the people who would have consumed your love upon their own flesh I will lay my life down now As a token In honor of your sacred love For I am not so special I have sold my love to one I felt sorry for I have given up on my dreams I would sooner take my own life than hurt her When I was a child I felt abandoned Lonely days Spent wandering the earth Quiet spaces Far off lonely places Awaiting I knew not you Our lifes were on a collision course For destiny was supposed to bring me to you But I have always been an anxious one I jumped the gun and compromised my future By placing myself in someone else's debt And now you and I are distant memories Our love never had a chance to blossom Even one as pathetic as me should be allowed one prayer A humble prayer The prayer of a sinner A fool A drunkard Surely Christ came for ones such as me Before I go now I pray that God protect you And watch over you And keep you happy And deliver you to me In the after life For death cannot keep me from you I will join you there my love I will be waiting there with open arms for you Now I must tarry not For my heart has died a slow death My hopes and dreams fell From my heart like leaves from an autumn tree One by one Until the tree was bare I am a miserable old man By existing I am hurting others And I cannot bare to be without you Good luck and God speed my love I shall see you in the after life
