ragged pursuit

Oh!
My intimate,
most precious love!
How you have yearned for
and eagerly sought after me!
I have felt the heat of your affections,
the weight of your hungry love.
I have offered fickle
and half-hearted love in return.
I have been foolish
and unfaithful.
I have tried to earn the gift
you desired to give freely.
But oh!
My sweet and gentle love!
Your pursuit, even unto death,
is the greatest love story ever told.
And you have captivated me,
body and soul.
My beauty is found
in the glory
of your love.
