Haunt

Your countenance is to my detriment
I feel your phantom eyes intent
On my face while I walk my dreams
And though I do not quake, it seems
At night I cannot shut you away
You linger in my heart, in my heart you stay

Please come back to me
If not to kiss off un-tears
Then to show me the River Lethe
And take back these years

No, I would not hedge against heaven
Nor sack it, in spite of hell

I only know the word love,
When you release me of it.
