Love Poem: Shadows of You

Shadows of You

Dark it was when my eyes fell upon you
For how can I love such temptress like you?
Shadows of you I bear in my heart
And voices of you echoing inside

Get away! Get away! 

Oh! How I ran from the gaze of you
Only to find myself knelling to you
To touch, to feel you, the curve, the shape
But I can’t I won’t for sorrows you bring

Get away! Get away!

Break this chain of thorns and let me go
So memories of you be gone in past
For this quite little child is crying
Ensnared in a little trap you called love

Get away! Get away! Shadows of you.
