To Thy Own Hell Be True

The moment I laid eyes on you,

Your glance had stopped my heart

There it turned my world apart

The moment I laid eyes on you

The first message, first conversation

The darkness in my heart had felt

The warmth of your embrace

The kindness in your interactions

I could not take my thoughts

I could not take my eyes off you

The long brown hair, soft lips

The complexion of your skin,

The depth seen in your green eyes

The second you looked up to me

The glance had stopped my heart

The mind that caught my thoughts

The desire to feel your warmth

Those sweet soft lips, perhaps a hug?

I could not get the thought of you

The thought out of my mind

I could not take my eyes off you

I can not take my eyes off you

I can no longer keep my heart

Under confines of chains I built

Prisoner to wounds of past

Protection both from love and hate but

The glance that stole my heart

The eyes that took my breath away

I could not take my mind off you

The kindness given I can’t shake

I can not take my mind off you

I can no longer keep my heart, nor breath

The glance that stole my heart

Swept the wind beneath my sails

I could not think, nor breathe

I could no longer keep myself

The distant foolish one in love

From confessing the intensity

The penetrating ache, with which

The confines of my heart held

The love for you with no restraint

I can not take my mind off you

I can not keep the soul from yearning

The shackles that you took from me

I can not keep my heart from you

The way you painlessly disarmed me

The glance that stole my heart

The mind that stopped my thoughts

The kind warmth of your embrace

The love I’ve always wanted

The love you’ve made me feel

I am forever grateful to have met you

My sweet love, You’ll soon be dead

The kindness of your heart,

beautiful green eyes, their depth,

all have memorialized

The glance that stopped my heart

The pain from being apart from you

My own hell is love, and I am true

In depth, and ground, eternity

To thy own he’ll be true
