Forsaken Love

Forsaken Love Dear lover, why hast thou forsaken me my miserable life now cut in shreds If only thee had instead set me free love, no longer sharing our silkened beds To what ending hath thou denied my love with darkness cast into our sadden souls Once our future sailed on so far above any lost, mundane and unworthy goals There were eternal sparkles in your eyes touching that declareth our loving so true Now blackness clouds into our lost skies crying, my heart breaks into missing you! How sad! That you dwelleth within the dark Letting deceit erase our loving spark. Robert J.

(2)hath hath/ archaic third person singular present of have. (3)thou thou/ You may have been told that "thou" and "thee" were for familiar use, and "you" and "ye" were formal. This was not true originally, but it was true for about two centuries, roughly 1450-1650, including Shakespeare's time. The previously plural "you" was used in the singular to signify politeness and respect, which left "thou" and "thee" for all the other singular uses, ranging from endearing intimacy to bitter rudeness. Eventually, the politer "you" drove out nearly all uses of "thee" and "thou"; they survived mostly in poetry and religion. (4)dwelleth - Wiktionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dwelleth dwelleth.
