Yesterlove

If you profess your love for me,
Will then you turn and leave?
When hearts, as ours, belong as one
Will you be strong enough to cleave?

Can you release your yesterlove
For those who’ve come before,
Escape the wounds upon your heart
Scarred when your innocence was torn?

Are you now free to share your love
With me, without concern?
Or must you quell the mighty fire
Of your passion as it burns?

Am I to you, like all the rest,
Who’ve let you drown in sorrow?
Or will you heed your heart’s desire
And remain with me ‘til morrow?

Do not confess your love for me
If hence, you must then leave.
Just lay here silent in my arms
And I’ll just listen to you breathe.
