Love's Intolerable Pain

Denial of our shadow side

Will often cause it to rise up

Against us

That he does not need to die

Allows his mind to soar

To fly

What if love's intolerable pain

never leaves?

What will your life's mark

leave upon this world?

What now, will my dark craft

do with your body now?

We walk as Gods together

through a fiery dawn

What if you love someone you

know you shouldn't love?

What will your dying father's

last words to you be?

What now, the painting of

young lovers is complete?

What if love's intolerable pain

never leaves us?

Do we dash our bleeding

hearts on the rocks of

loneliness?

And cry unto the lords above

who turn away in haste?

From the heart

Heart of snow

Comes the ice

It's crushing blow

From the soul

Whose love is sound

Comes the cold

It's frozen ground.
