Oh, how painful was the subtraction of my love!
I remain as but a fraction without my love
The agony resounds within my hollow heart
How deeply sounds the abstraction without my love
The morning dawns. I rise. But where am I to go?
I walk in a great distraction without my love
The mirror tells me I may follow her ere long
Aghast at my own reaction without my love
But she is gone, and I am left to live alone
Can I seek joy, satisfaction, without my love?
