No Matter Poem by Martin Mc Carthy

You sleep here always in my bed,
Your soul is never far from me,
No matter what the gods have said.

Long ago, you packed and fled,
But how can you be happy?
You sleep here always in my bed.

To another, you are safely wed,
Yet ever restless like the sea,
No matter what the gods have said.

The sky around you glows bright red,
But there's no fire to embody.
You sleep here always in my bed.

My passion for you won't stay dead,
And you know this to some degree,
No matter what the gods have said.

So what tomorrow lies ahead?
What lovers do we dare to be?
You sleep here always in my bed,
No matter what the gods have said.
