Her human departed
left again
A sense of lingering joy
felt oddly sharp
In the place
where her heart resided
A piercing point of pain
forced her to sit
Instead of waiting and watching
him go
Full darkness enveloped her
and she left first
Shakespeare published 154 sonnets in his quarto in 1609. While the initial 126 are addressed to a young man, the final 28 are directed toward an enigmatic woman referred to as the dark lady.

Her human departed

A sense of lingering joy
felt oddly sharp
In the place
where her heart resided
A piercing point of pain
forced her to sit
Instead of waiting and watching
him go
Full darkness enveloped her
and she left first
