From life you chose to disappear Yielding to waves that lured you in Never knowing what could have been Each day I'm haunted by grim fear Anguished by the most dreadful thought ~ What had I done to break your heart My lashes tether to each tear When the sun slips into the sea I cry, wishing it could be me I miss you so, my love, my dear I ache day and night, all alone My fate, a visage I bemoan Oh, how I yearn to hold you near Like the sun, I shall slink away to rest in your arms 'neath the bay From life you chose to disappear Each day I'm haunted by grim fear My lashes tether to each tear I miss you so, my love, my dear Oh how I yearn to hold you near ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NOT WRITTEN FOR ANY CONTEST
