Disappointment

O’ thy light of happiness,

Do not leave me in a constant state of darkness. 

Linger on me a moment longer.

This! O’ this will not make me stronger. 

Stay! O’ thy pleasant light.

You do not have to be bright. 

Just light, so all things are not consumed.

Stay with me; light of life, do not leave me entombed.

I wish not to a labor a bemoan.

For the love you show can never be cloned. 

My soul cannot bear this separation.

I wish not to feel this station.

Petty? Never!

A state I wish never to sever.

Do not admonish the emotion.

Rise, fall, never leave such great potion.

Never greedy.

No! Not needy.

Wanting, longing, deepest insight.

Never leave me hanging for thy light. 

Detest not.

Disappoint not.

Walk with me.

Teach me. 

Shine on the dull recess of my soul,

joy, love, light, on me dole.

Let your mercy lay on my desire

Disappoint me not, light never expire.
