Pains of Love

Wishing you sweet dreams REM,

Through the seams until you wake again.

Whenever then,

Or so it seems,

She weeps every time upon her island

Surrounded by her tears

Of faded memories haunting again

Reflecting New Years

Wishing back then

The pains of Love

Once one must decide

To risk everything

Or close the heart and hide

The pains of Love sing

Comes with a high price

Allowing oneself to seek ecstasy

With another to be

Both knowing no living

Without Love or a Lover

It’s all in the giving

Accepting the pains of another

With never a regret

To see them vanish of no return

The lonely heart breaks

As it seeks it learns

Would brave 10,000 aches

To ash smoke it burns

To set afire

Pays the pains of Love

To be in ecstasy

To be in her ecstasy

She is the currency

She is the ocean

The thundering

The drumming

She sings

Come hear me sing

Come hear my humming

To pay with pains to bring

Her ectasy

In that which she may live

Forever free

Of tears

Of empty memory

Life without Love is painful

More painful than the trying

The death of self dying

Of mutual dying to each other

No living without a Lover

Come she smiles and hear me sing you

As you sing me

To be true

To pay the pains

To feel the thorns

To bleed

Just to touch a glimpse

Of something priceless

That whispers come hear us sing

Taste the Lovers breath

Taste your forever
