WITHOUT YOU
What was my fault, oh lord of my heart,
With a fate as this placed in my part?
Turning me down like a reckless old rat,
A soul in embers was torn apart.
A companion i sought but couldn't have had,
A guide as unerring as the sun and the god,
Propriety snatched a love that was comprised,
Of affectionate exchanges and understanding not sacrificed.
Without him, a piano with a key that was lost,
A shivering swallow in the midst of snow and frost.
His presence the burst of warmth at dawn,
In the mesmerizing orchards, a frolicking fawn.
A worry that wants to surge into his feelings,
Willing to forsake the world's ways and unreasonable proceedings,
A queen's desire for a switch of lives,
A commoner's role for a love to be revived.
