She and I
One day just dawned and she was gone,
I know not where, nor can I ever hope
To touch once more her cherished face,
To feel the warmth, to share her mirth.
But I do know with her has gone
A thousand dreams, life's fantasy.
Yet there was a negative twist,
Relations strained, and discontent.
Now all those nightmares are so far away
And I can surely hope for better days.
For I admit that our sweet and bitter love
Was just a thorny bed of fragrant roses.
There was desire and there was envy
And there was love and anger and despair.
I'll miss the love, I'll miss the care
That I admit though she was never true;
But gone too is the torment and the fear
That killed my peace and barred all truce.
