'T was in the heavens—the peace we knew,

Bearing the burden in thy presence—you make me blue,

'T was the lingering mien of our exchange, just us two

Gaz'd at thee through the moments before my despair,

Since thine demeanor is nothing to compare.

For all the havoc thou caused, ne'er did it bleed,

For all the unseen gaze thou made—I 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸—I heed—

And through you, the dawn—the cycle of our despair,

I display in this everlasting sentiment, O, 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱!

I am 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨—in hopes of filling the long for thine endearment.
