Tis Love

Tis love, he says!

Tis love that guided him
back to me he says!!

there is no love for me
for tis love that has
ripped my heart and
blacken my core !!

tis love that has
damned my soul
to for ever walk alone!!

love it dangerous, murderous
and will never set me free!

One day you will
come to see truly
what love and thee
has done to me

I wish nothing to do
with love or thee
so leave me locked
in my cage and do
not try to set me free
for I will sink my hands
into your chest
and turn thy heart
to coal like thy wicked soul

be gone with love
be gone with thee
for thee truly do not want me!!
