WHERE HAVE YOU GONE MY SWEET?

Where have you gone my sweet?
Your love, you have taken away.
When, I think of you, my heart skips a beat.
My world is gray.
I long for a kiss, to rub my sore feet.

My heart aches for you.
The light behind my eye-lids is dimming.
My hands, turning blue.
My existence, drowning.
Your love, I once knew.

On my death bed, I lie--
my breath, fading.
To speak your name, I try
but failing.
My throat dry.

Crying!
Hands and feet, cold.
Ears, ringing.
A letter arrived today; your demise, I was told.
Sadness, I'm lamenting.

My fate, portent.
It is un-known, if our souls will again cross,
but in my bony hand, a hair-clip, of you a remnant.
Years have passed--on my head-stone, burgeon moss--
a grievous sentiment.
