Take me, Love, and plunder me;
leave me by Life’s road as dead.
Good Samaritan, walk on by,
or lay a rock beneath my head.
Leave me to die beside the path;
I’ll raise no anguished cries.
Take me, Love, and plunder me;
my back is turned; I’ve closed my eyes.

I’m tired of walking all alone.
This burden grows each passing day.
Why do I travel in this direction?
Isn’t Eden the other way?
But my steps grow weak and weary;
loneliness and boredom come free.
I’ll be a victim without the sorrow.
Take me, Love, and plunder me!

Love and only love can change all the weariness and make it beautiful.  You words touch me today.  *s*

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Sadly, I've been down this path many times...

Well expressed with flair!
Sometimes, 'love can hurt so good,' but true love shouldn't cause any pain.  I hope you find a real love   Hugs~

Take care,

Beautiful thoughts here Topheth. Keep your back turned cause I've found that is when love hits you
