Your presence in my heart

Was enough to keep it full

Of pleasure and happiness

There was not a moment dull

It had a dance of delight

There was melody and song

But over a period of time

Something went horribly wrong

I lost you to someone else

My core developed a blaze

Steadily from your life

My name you tried to erase

Now, there is total emptiness

A vacuum of emotion

The glory of foregone days

Seems dreamy work of fiction
