In The Shade Of Love

If kindness be the gift you show,

Then let my heart its truth bestow.

I’ve found in you life’s gentle art,

A silent whisper in my heart.

You taught me how to laugh, to be,

A brighter world you gave to me.

If tears you seek, I will not hide,

I’ll cry for love, with humble pride.

Let not my tears cause you despair,

They cleanse the soul laid open bare.

If they must fall, then let them stream,

They carry hope, they hold a dream.

Destroy me, mold me—do your will,

My prayers for you will bless you still.

Even in death, this love won’t fade,

My ashes chant the vow we made.

Love’s pain I hold without regret,

A wound I wear, I won’t forget.

For in your gaze, I’ve found my place,

A fleeting shade, a soft embrace.

So let me stay beneath your eyes,

Where silence lives and longing lies.

I’ve fallen deep, so let me be,

In shadows cast by destiny.

If kindness be the gift you show,

Then let my heart its truth bestow.
