This Devil's Argument

this devil\'s argument

desolate I am

and sorrow\'s child

a prince uncrowned

and unadorned

save with the scars

of love

I dare not cry

lest some unseen

vengeful god

think me ungrateful

and deny

the central axis

of my life

the sun I orbit round

you

there is only ever you

my lips

my hands

my body and

the soul within

are yours

use them as you will

but understand

I know full well

who I am and

who you are

and a sun

bereft of its world

in endless orbit

is but a cold and lonely

dying star
