YEARNING

Deep down inside my soul, is my love for thee.

So silently, oh it yearns to be free.

But it can never find freedom with you oh my love

Freedom I so wish for we two.

Throughout my soul I so yearn for your heart

If only our lives had not torn us apart.

This yearning is my battle, eternal I fear

My secret is to hide it, but still hold it near.

Never the world to show of my love

Only our Lord God knows of my secret up above.

My love though strong, I keep it locked in a powerful cage.

And my willpower is its nemesis

But this war of wills will eternally rage.
