Painful Separation
Biting and awful events!
I had to pray in convents.
You had come but left early
And you were meant an ally.
Less time you had spent with me,
With others I had felt not free.
You were my wished pet you know:
I could not leave you to grow...
My chosen classic partner,
John the Baptist forerunner:
I had been your good refuge
And would still have been quite huge.
Why didn't you in sewage
Discard hurting subterfuge?
The blows of hammering pain
Not washed away by the rain:
Who is swept away by blaze
Its sad memory shall raise...
Engulfed you were by the clouds,
Your voice unheard though quite loud.
The endless is always long,
Shortens it not touching song...
It's ended fraternity
For a damned eternity
