Gone Away Again
The willows may weep
but they'll never know
the sadness I keep
wherever I go
I hear the whipperwill can sing
but not for me on this day
love was just an empty thing
and you have taken it away
will it keep you warm at night
knowing what you did
will it burn for you like a little light
and reveal the lies you hid
I doubt it very much
after all love is just a silly thing
I placed it in your touch
and symbolized it by a ring
But you had no clue
you did not even know
that I could never stop loving you
and caring for you so
but gone away in the day is our love
our life together is none
I lay here now with the fallen angel dove
and have no legs on which to run
my body lay broken like the shell it was
no love or life left to give
they all went away because
you had another life to live
Gone Away in the night
like the suns extinguish'd kiss
colder still this pale moonlight
as I tell myself only this
I loved you once but never more
you loved me never and wanted more
I gave you this my dying kiss
but to qoute the Raven, never more
