Orb of Night

The Orb of night shines its light of love only on you- I cannot love another- Fate has decided that this is the truth- My heart is determined to love you only- My soul is connected to you alone- To seek someone else is a futile endeavor- A waste of time- I will love you forever- I long for your kisses- They elude me it’s true- I long to caress you- Yet this is a dream- More like a nightmare- Often it seems- Your good morning dear I never will hear- Your goodnight my love will not touch my ears- The sun is blocked by my cloud of despair- Like Sisyphus pushing a rock up a hill- I always will long yet never fulfill- At best you love me just as a friend- You find it amusing that I long for your touch- That I find you attractive- That I love you so much- You find it funny that I die at your sight- I die just a little- Yes it is true- I die for wanting yet not having you- Your spirit, your beauty will haunt me forever- You are the only- There can be no other
