It’s My Desire

It’s my desire
It’s my proposal
It’s my obsession
That I might lay down my life
in the shadows of your existence.

At any given hour
I cry for thee
on any given day
I would die for thee.

In matters of our concern
my head tells my heart
not to listen
but then my head spins
my heart churns
my eyes glisten.

I love you immensely
perhaps too intensely
I fear your heart’s gone
thus I’ll move on.
