... And you bid this mortal world adieu!

... Leaving a gaping void,

In this heart that has managed to stay buoyed.

... Left alone in the lurch,

I searched, but in vain, for my Lords church.

... It seemed your job was done,

For our string had come undone.

You departed from my soul,

... Leaving behind a living ghoul.

I was but shattered, grimacing in agony and pain;

... Ne'er would I be the same again!

I cry alone, here forlorn...

Now, that you are forever gone.

My cries have now reduced to a sob.

... The heart, still wincing, continues to throb...

I miss you loads, downcast I remain;

Ah... Good times do but little to anodyne that inner pain.

I'd always tried, to be the perfect lover...

But all I wish now- to be united with you forever!

A time will come, whence I too shalt rest.

Ne'er again... Shalt we remain at His behest...
