Yearn
Endeavored romance, bolstered and cried
Then came the night, my music died
One last attempt, a foiled finished taste
A devoted passion, soon laid to waste
Recovered contentment, felled for the count
Heartache and pain, a stable failed surmount
End of life with its completion of care
A quickened loss for incessant despair
The dark night recalled; cessation dispense
Atonement is sought, assume recompense
My last night on Earth, withdrawn in vain
My death for your love, this life for your pain
