Your Departure

The myriad, blazing stars above, 
stars above upon which I gaze.
'pon which I gaze and think of love,
And think of love from prior days

From prior days when you and I,
when you and I traversed the world.
Traversed the world as lovers might,
As lovers might with sails unfurled.

Yet all good things come to an end,
come to an end and cease to be.
And cease to be my love, my friend
my love, my friend, depart from me.

Depart from me do not return.
Do not return and cause me pain,
and cause me pain, infernal burn
infernal burn out in the rain.

Out in the rain, the soothing rain
the soothing rain and light caress
and light caress that feels the same
that feels the same as your sweet breath
