In wistful thoughts, shall I reside,
Or in shadows, shall I depart?
Perhaps I was once yours, it's hard to deny,
Yet, vanish, retreat, I plead, my heart.
Roses parading, trailing behind your way,
Upon the strand, as certain as I beseech,
Withdraw, recede, I implore, I pray,
Like tinder to flame, lessons they teach.
Into the hamlet, our journey unfolds,
Seeking your sanctuary, where spires ascend,
Lost in a terrain where bitterness molds,
To be lost, to wander, our love's bitter end.
Sing in hushed tones, beneath sorrow's yoke,
Pious verses whispered in bliss,
Upon the shores, where these secrets spoke,
Withdraw, recede, my plea, my silent kiss.
Oh, fateful day, when envy did choose,
Shattered by hours, the cruel divide,
All I uttered to you, now it bemuse,
Like kindling to inferno, our love did subside.
Into the township, our fates intertwined,
Seeking your refuge, where aspirations rise,
To be lost, to wander, a love maligned,
Never we discern, the truth in disguise.
Never shall they unveil where fortresses grow,
Only your heart shall heed their silent song,
Sing in muted strains, our past's undertow,
Sing in muted strains, as we both move along.
