Stay

Stay with me for now,
Stay as long as you must.
Stay with me forever,
Or until I've turned to dust.

Love is unconditional,
It brings peace to the heart.
But mine simply consumes me,
And tears my soul apart.

I want you to stay
Not just tonight and tomorrow,
But now and forever, 
And for all time to follow.

If you don't want to stay,
There's nothing I can do.
Except to let you go and hope
That you find love too.         

That's when you'll know,
What it feels like
To love someone deeply,  
And be rewarded with spite.

But who am I kidding?
I don't want you to go away; 
Neither find love elsewhere;
All I want is for you to stay.

As You Sow

As you sow
So shall you reap.
But do not weep.
Let the pain seep         
Into your soul. 

It's there for a reason.
And it'll stay a season.
You committed treason. 
This is your repentance. 

There is no solace.
Not even a trace.
Consequences you must face.      
For your behaviour of disgrace.

Let your heart bleed.
Of truth, plant a seed.
Let it not weed.
And once you sow,
Make sure to reap.
