Our Separation

You are the sunshine

And I am the night

Our separation

The dawn and twilight

When you come, I go

And girl, when you go, I come

Our division

A dying and rising sun

I am very sad

Under an ebony sky

Our disconnection

Always makes my brown eyes cry

Please stop my weeping

Your truancy my visionless world

A world without a sun

Without your light my earth is so cold

Please reflect your light

I am dusk when you are not around

Our segregation

My body is like a shady ground

You’re under my sea

I am like an aching shadow

No more desolation

I don’t want you to ever go
