Truly

Kevin Michael Bloor

My true love found me griping

Like a groaning, grouchy ghost

When I’d been left an orphan

All alone down by the coast.

 

My true love did enslave me

With her fatal, flirty eyes,

Seduced me with her singing

And her sultry, sylvan sighs.

 

My true love drew me to her

Like a spellbound, speechless slave,

Salvationless and stranded

Like a soul she’d have to save.

 

My true love made me merry

Like a measured mug of mirth,

Delivered me from dreaming;

Put my feet back on the earth.

 

My true love told me, “truly,

I will never leave your side,”

But I could not believe her,

So the love between us died.
