Thorns of Your Love
So sweet was your love
So sweet I did not feel its thorns
You speared me too deep
Yet at your soft petals my head I laid
So sweet was your love
So sweet it blinded me from your flaws
Like a lost sheep I walked in dazed
Barefooted on a lane of hot coals
Was it love that blinded me so?
That numbed me to all sorts of pain
All I could feel was your love so deep
I kept coming for more despite the pain
I could never let go of your hand
My eyes remained glued to your face
Mesmerized by your everlasting grace
While you tore me layer by layer
These thorns of your love
Pricked me in many places
Yet yours was the sweetest of pains
I still yearn for you regardless
