Analysis of Surrender

Hilary Uhl 1985 (Philadelphia, PA)



My love is eternal
Unconditional, unshakable,
Magic, divine
I surrender control
I will not heal you
I will not call
I will love you
And I'll always leave
the door ajar
Now matter how far
you may seem
My love will last
as long as stars gleam
