Far from my eyes to see

Dear to my heart, dear to my being

A haunted home within me.

Your ghost a company I cling to.

My dearest where have you gone to.

Like a bird I thought would come,

back only to know it has settled down

Somewhere else far from I

I ought to know you are free,

when with you I had wings,

when with you I felt me.

And I wish to the stars you are happy

when your smile I cherished

now far from my eyes to see.

Sincerely,

May
