Loneliness
FORLORN
Gone but here,
Atop my brooding heart
Far yet near
My thoughts brings her forth
I miss my dear
And the halcyon days we had
Doughty visage shroud my tears
But lugubrious of countenance
She severed ties tween us
And loses upon me an unalloyed loneliness
I became unquiet and broody
Benighted of the path to walk henceforth
'tis loneliness all about me
My heart's desolate and hollow
Abandoned to brood
This, bitterness in my bosom
I passed into slumber at night
Perchance this feeling will vanquish
At my wake in the morn
Alas! Forlorn hope, it lingers on
Unavailing my quest for love anew
A damsel with ardour I crave for
To slough off this perpetual feeling
And cast off my woebegone visage.
