No Such Thing

The defeated heart's hopes have long been hurled,
Knowing how vain the search for love can be;
Yet, it finds its peace in a phantom world
Of shadows mimicking love's ecstasy
Why must loneliness conjure up such fears?
When I feel alone, with no direction,
I need but look into my pool of tears,
And I'm comforted by my reflection
In the night I may wander paths unknown
With the luster of the moon to guide me;
Pity me not, thinking I walk alone -
My shadow walks faithfully beside me
A Spring morning may find me wading rills
In a vale where the meadow rue stands tall;
I cry 'I love you' to the distant hills,
And some phantom lover echoes my call
Or I may write an ardent love letter,
In a bottle I cast it to the sea;
What joy as I'm freed of despair's fetter
When the tide returns that message to me
Curse of loneliness! no such thing need be;
But how do we bear the pain? you may ask,
Look to desperate hearts for the remedy -
Our senses have been well-trained for the task
