And did you love me on those nights? <br />When heaven opened to pour our desires <br />And inspired these tender and wrathful fights <br />Not a cloud to cover what He may conspire. <br /> <br />And here in torment I lay down my soul complete <br />That you may love me across the infinite lifetimes <br />And not with her or heaven would I need compete <br />If you would lead me in my purest crimes. <br /> <br />You are a wanton pleasure of ill-deeded innocence <br />And you twist in every turn of my veins <br />And eternity is my recompense <br />Tho may it be held under fiery reigns. <br /> <br />And this is how I love you so: <br />That for your torture, thru hell I go.<br /><br />Heather Marie Mortimer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-and-torment/
