Death Is Her Name, Separation Is Her Game

I felt at unease
My love, at tease

I embraced her close
Yet feared I her loss

She saw my sweat and fear
And my eyes look elsewhere

“What has put your heart on fire
Has my lover turned to a liar?

What secret have you got to hide
If love other, then with me confide”

Replied I

“For past few weeks
Have I been in pains

My heart trembles
In fear, humbles

When I see you approach
I see Her too encroach

I wish to love you at all times
But She shatters all my hopes

Both of you are as real
I cannot deny you either

Ah! Death is her name
Separation is her game

She comes uninvited
To have lovers frightened

Nightmare of life is she,
Pirate of Lovers’ sea is she

Ridicule of love, her hobby
She cares not for any lobby

Ah! Death is her name
Separation is her game
