Silent Lament

Alas, my heart, what have you done?

—your lips denied the light of Truth,

your face today despised the sun;

now darkness clouds above your roof

Alas, my heart, what have you done?

—in fear you have betrayed your love,

your words have brought the stars to stun;

 today you sold your priceless trove

Alas, my heart, what have you done?

—a mute lament has crossed your life,

your fault has grown and weighs a ton;

your tears are now a sharpless knife

Alas, my heart, what have you done?

—you’ve reached a void of loss and shame,

deceive the mind your pain to shun;

for from now on you’ll lose your flame

Alas, my heart, what have you done?

—you’ve set your fate towards demise,

your vows were lost as weakness won;

now all that’s left is fruitless cries

Alas, my heart, what have you done?

—you’ve put your trust in fragile men,

sought hope in them that give to none;

and time has split to now and then
