Shades Of Love
Emily Arthur © 2005
Adorned hunger befriends me
Can’t help but feel so afraid
I covet the last touch of love
Can’t help but crave lost faith
I’d like to induce new dreams
Not evoke old memories
No longer reminisce about things
Of past remorse
And I know shame is manifest
But I can recollect
The times when I looked to you
These things we were used to
They came through me so easily
Vice rears her vile head
The wicked fall to her feet
I stumbled on indulgence
But love kept me on my knees
It was then I prayed
I knew hate would keep me jaded
Then you painted
The many shades of love
