Your Return
You'd like to return
to what once was there
before you went away.
My love you betray
and fell astray.
You must have your play.
Ever held at bay
I'm filled with dismay.
No more swoon and sway.
Idol's feet of clay.
Dragons yet to slay
Darkness before day.
Nothing to repay.
No reason to pray.
Nothing to gainsay.
But what once was there
has since gone away.
It just couldn't stay.
