He abandoned me
His hands
His desire to embrace my body as the sun rises above the hilltop
And his excitement abandoned me
Suddenly dark clouds of suspicion
Lingered on the moon
And the stars left me
The warm hand of devotion
That connected the thread of love had weakened
And happiness abandoned me
The aura of the night
His barren heart
The blossoms of my needs
And the shattered hope abandoned me
When dawn rose
The glow of life shone through the window next to the sea
With a soft smile
I whispered into his ear that you had abandoned me
The rain started to pour
The room stirred up with a high breeze
The light from within my heart glowed with hope
And the still of a gloomy night abandoned me
With a roar of strength
From the depth of my ruin
Alone
I climbed the moon with highest dreams
To capture my salvation once again
