Lonelyness having lost a loved one

I have seen a tie thrown carelessly across the floor

seen a love-sick animal that barks no more

And felt the pangs of loneliness.

I have seen a shirt slung needlessly across a chair

watched that love - sick animal with eyes that stare

And felt a twinge of emptiness.

In the night a tear has foolishly slid down my cheek

followed by so many tears for love I seek

And sleep has failed to greet me.

In the day a smile has forcibly spread o'er my face

trying to abandon love that's left its trace

But joy has failed to reach me,.

I have seen your eyes appealingly from wooden frame

Seen those ties and shirts are still the same

and felt return of loneliness,

known the twinge of emptiness,

And loved you even more
