BITTER SWEET

How do I behold the stars again in the beauty of their shine when your reflection is no longer found in them?

How will the sun ever brighten my days when it is beclouded with the paleness of your bade goodbye?

How do I thread this path alone when the sound of your footsteps no longer echo beside me?

How will I ever take pleasure from hearing the sound of my name again when your most charming sound of voice no longer say it?

How will life ever be lively when you have taken all its liveliness with you?

My eyes long for the sight of you in vain,

My ears listen endlessly for the melody of your songs when you sang me lullaby.

Where once I had pleasure now I have pain.

Where once I had laughter now I have musing.

The very path we once gladly treaded is now forlornly followed.

You were my pleasure but now my pain!
You were the sweetest but now bitterest
