Love's Death

    When I close my eyes
    The dark is replaced by you
    Smiling at me
    Would that my blindness
    Be so bright

    When I cover my ears
    Your voice only remains
    Whispering to me
    Would that my deafness
    Be so loud

    When I try to hide away
    You are always there
    Standing by me
    Would that my loneliness
    Be so crowded

    When I empty my mind
    The only thought left is you
    Loving me
    Would that my madness
    Be so kind

    When I see death approach
    I stand without fear
    Waiting to join you
    Would that my Heaven
    Be so sweet

    Come black rider
    Strike me down
    And remove life's breath
    Would that your steed be quick
    To take me to her

    I'm ready
