Sigh

My heart aches once more
For a lover who has gone
Giving their amour 
To another someone 
Whom takes a name but mine

My throat chokes again
As I begin 
To speak of your name 
But this you win
The trophy of my besotted silence 

My tears stream one last time
In order to forget 
The subject of my rhyme 
A lover, a memory, a regret 
And here I sigh.
