Darkness fades yet sorrow stings
A bare bed stares and cruel fate grins
At my bleeding heart and silence that kills
The hands of time creep in weary strides
The hours do weigh like steel they strike
Solitude strangles a heart once blithe
As my mind of plight does cringe with fright
Though far away your voice keeps me sane
And your shadowy face in moments to wane
Trapped in gloom as I solemnly wait
Mutely I whisper sweet hope's name
Love is binding love is might
In its lapse life be dark as night
Yet love is selfish love it spites
An impish sprite you dare not fight
