In my humble world
Only if you never appeared
Tears I couldn’t shed
Why did we have to reach this day?
That you have left me in dismay
Our hearts once held in a strong bond
Burning inside, you left my heart like brond
In a union of feelings
You danced to my tunes
In my ears, you whispered words of love
With pain, you left the mourning dove
We spat on burning fire with hope
Together we climbed the slippery slope
Night has broken, but dawn not ushered
The dream of togetherness shuttered
