the steep price of sleeping in separate bedrooms

my dearest Lover
of a thousand hills
i have forgotten You
and the vows we made

why do i treat You
as an obligation?
it pains me when i
disregard You so

how i have fostered
foreign false fidelities
that have separated
my heart from Yours

and i have slept in arms
that are not Yours
and entertained whispers
of adulterous deeds

i have forgotten Your name
and Your zealous pursuit
that you undertook for me
when i was so young

please pursue me again
do not let me wander
do not let our vows
wither and turn to dust

i smell Your scent
on the winds again
i want to find You
and be found with You

oh, do not leave me
and please forgive me
my dearest Lover
of a thousand hills
