The Unnamed 1


Within my soul there lies a hole

What am I to do

 

If Day and Night by Dark and Light

I only think of you?

 

If you were mine and I were thine

Would I be at rest?

 

Could my mind some solace find

If like birds we shared a nest?

 

That such a word just might be heard

Is my decision just?

 

The evil thought he runs amok

Would it lead to lust?

 

Spark starts blaze, my hope is razed

Here I step with care

 

Virgin remain and I the same

Fall not to an affair

 

Respect is earned and given in turn

Make every action checked

 

Love will wait, lust will take

I pray I end not wrecked

 

I love you dear, so never fear

Here always I will stand

 

If needing friends you round my bend

I'll walk with you hand in hand
