when my mistress is not by my side


The sky is light but I sit in darkness
Days, weeks, months have passed since I have seen you
You left me and now I sit in anguish
Grieving for the one that I look up to
 
 
You went to a place and when would you come back
I sit and i think of my gloomy past
I want to rid with things that tie me back
Wondering what I did to deserve that
 
 
Yet I only see your face in my mind
Your glowing eyes filled with love and delight
A laugh as joyous as yours is hard to find
I think of our good times when I sleep at night
 
 
I'm lucky that I fell in love with thee
I have your memories to comfort me
