Soul Affairs

If I waited under starlit skies,
Would you send me sweet goodbyes?

If I dug a hole and lived in it,
Would you coax me out with your wit?

If I promised you I’d stay the night,
Would you sooth away my fright?

If I loved you with my soul,
I believe it would take a heavy toll,

For if I waited for you to see,
I doubt you’d even know me,

If I was away a lot,
I bet you’d let me be to rot,

If you heard my frightened cries,
You’d answer them with obnoxious sighs,

I’ve loved you with my soul,
And it took the heaviest toll.
