'Never let it be so'

Hush that silence,

That longs to be filled

That restless place,

That will be heard

Take away those longings,

To somewhere else

Lay them down,

For I am weary

I want to resist,

The thoughts of you

That stirs my mind,

And all of my senses too

Don't let me remember,

All the passion that possessed me

Lest I forget to breathe,

At the very thought of you

I will beg my heart be still,

Be quiet

Long no more,

Yet never let it be so
