Darkened Star

O star of stars, so distant and far,
Yet my love for you remains unmar'd

A cloud passes 'tween us, hiding your light
My world, once happy, now plunged into night

Once filled with cheer and hope for days ahead,
Now bereft, alone, hands filled with tears shed

Your face, your touch, your kiss are all gone;
My thoughts only for you against the dawn

Hands raised, eyes closed, I beckon above:
Why will you not return my love?
