SINCE YOUR WERE GONE

Now, since you were gone

My heart was perforated like a thong

In silence by day, I was wailing like a gong

By night, I would breath emptiness

Of a truth, in tears I am mourning your absence

Not for missing you, but for hurting me

You deceived me to have loved you

Having cling to you for a soul-food

Our love, you let go without my notice

You broke my happiness into unending pieces

You were to me, a seed I’ve longed to plant

Since I propagated, around you I love to be hanged

After awhile, I watched your trees growing

Beauty became like dew quickly fading

But love is like a river, never stops flowing

And I became like the stubborn Jonah, ever angry

In the big fish’s stomach, ever resting

Wish to be like the Old Testament’s Moses ever hoping

Went to the promise-land, but was denied entry

Now, your fruit is ripe, I couldn’t wait to get them eaten

You were at first, a fresh rose

So fanciful and warm as a new gold

For you, all joys I had, I know

To have lost your love, all fame I had I sold

In all, I would blame you for leaving me alone

Here I am in cold, all day, and your smiles I wish to behold

Hoping with you, I could soar as owl

Come now before my neighbour’s place I go

Pray for me, so you could save my soul
