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.
