I Still Love

When Death comes to mock your life's failures

Despair eating deep into your soul

When yesterday's passion has flown asunder

Leaving you alone at the mercy of the crowd

Say aloud what lies deep within your heart

I still love

To the emptiness and the antipathy

To those who come to feed on your shame

I still love

Despite everything

Say it 

As the bloodthirsty crowd parts in fear

And you move on

Despite everything.
