Mournful Dirge

Why have you disappeared? It's like all of my limbs have been sheared. The world has now fallen away And I let out a pitiful bay The pain is like no other And my mind threatens to smother The world moves on without delay As if you were not mislaid today Many move on without a second thought While I am fraught and distraught I am nothing but a mourning dove And I wish to be with you, my love

Yes, this really fits the description of a dirge. Filled with the beautiful language of one mourning in poetic fashion! Thanks for visiting my Cinder Girl!
