The Relief of Defeat

It is with joy upon this night That I find no star shines as bright As your memory upon which I look And feel my heart, the piece you took Though now I give it free For there is no point concealing this part of me And with envy my eyes no longer burn For I do not seek your love returned Instead I wonder on this hour How best for you my love to shower But I know not why I feel so gay As defeat and love share this day
