104

You ran away from me yesterday

And left me to face this hostile world

All alone, and in despair

You ran out on me

And left me to stand

Alone

You strip the strength away

From my rigid bones

Without you, I feel

Hopelessly,

Helplessly,

Weak

You told me now to cry

As if you expect me to be brave

But, my bravery lies in your arms

My great lion, my statuesque soldier

Without you, I am but a butterfly

With no rose to cling to

You were my source of life

My fountain of youth

And, in you I found lost hope

You became my inspiration

And, my faith lived with you

You, now you are gone

So far away that,

I can’t even smell

The rouge of your musk

You, make me sick, now

Everything aches

My heart, my back, my stomach

You, make me weak, now
