Moonlight Faded To Dim
"and the birds twitter like whispering violins "
~ Constance La France
For several years we shared love and laughter
Much too soon came the time, I had to let him go
But he made me promise, then and forever after
to try not to cry, yet my tears continue to flow
I keep him near, for he still lives within my heart
Love was stolen by the hands of time or cruel fate
No kiss has touched my lips since we've been apart
I pray someday my grief and heartache will abate
There is no romantic love song I can bear to hear
Even bird trilling sounds sad, as if played on violins
It makes me break my promise, not to shed a tear
With each thought of him, a stream of them begins
Now, I've sleepless nights spent remembering him
My arms are empty and there's no music in my ear
Stars no longer sparkle, and moonlight faded to dim
Only in fragile dreams does my loved one reappear
