1. Return a lesson that grieves as rain drips down
Soaked by a heart as embers flare aflame

2. I saw passion bitter to whoever tastes it
Its quest is hard and its terrain is rough

3. I raised my hand towards the beloved but he pushed it away
So I returned as embers relit and secrets shone bare

4. He shot me with arrows from his quiver of rejection
No target but doubts and pierced insides for sure

5. My pleasure is his pleasure if he draws near or pulls away
Parting and union seem fair by his grace

6. I rode the unbroken steed of love before testing it
Dazed by its ways beyond describing its nature

7. A wine when its cup spins around the heart
Outwardly sober, inwardly drunk in its lure

8. Love's guardian left me with but a wisp
Of spirit that ribs and breast set free

9. My heart is your hostage, a trust in your hands
And my palms are empty of it and its fervor

10. I returned to patience that I cannot endure
Though the likes of me are not fooled by patience
