Sleep eludes me, as I lie alone in my bed,
The night brings only sorrow as endlessly I writhe,
Thinking of you with a mounting dread,
Never again to see your beauty, to hear those sighs,
Sighs of passion when we oft made love,
Holding each other with a burning desire,
You were my all my snow-white dove,
Till love went cold and there was no fire,
Fire burns within me when I speak your name,
Though it creates an aching in my very heart,
Sleep eludes me; my life is not the same,
Since you left my whole world fell apart
