Absent Heart

How can it feel that one true love Cause as much harm as this? Tis not the fault of the lover’s heart But because of the unremarkable bliss Love can be met in other ways Than one sees with the eye But sometimes those other things Make our insides die The heart that is absent from the lover’s grasp Where the warmth cannot be felt Is like the earth with no sun and the fish with no sea And the cop without his belt Alas, the spell is broken While the lovers lay side by side Nothing but thoughts of happy dreams And no angry thoughts to hide But soon divine love will show the way To an everlasting peace And forever eliminating such treacherous times And the absent heart at ease
