Lamentation of a Lover

I have been sad and perturbed lately, for you have treated me badly, hurt by your attitude recently, all I did was to make you feel gaily, My heart has been given to you fully, but you`ve interpreted it wrongly, I did what I did to draw you closely; Remember the time you were lonely, That everything made you sickly, And I lifted your soul up solely, Dejection and sadness reigned in your heart only, but I poured lubricating oil smoothly, to purge your heart from sorrow completely, Then you promised to love me dearly, which I accepted passionately, And I replied that~ I`ll always be friendly, which I carried out diligently, why do you now treat me so unkindly?, because I have a disease so deadly; Your withdrawal makes me feel so silly, which has affected me greatly, I have lost appetite and strength briefly, Thinking of you has made my spirit lowly; This ailment is not my making but Godly; I never envisage to have this~really, Think of the love I share with you daily, Please!stay by my side before I depart swiftly.
