Homesick Sonnets Lyrics - Singles - Emilie Autumn

Sonnet I 

In times of warmth when love and comfort dear 

Have cast their blindless light upon my star, 

How is it that I wish to disappear 

And find myself again back where you are? 

Is it that home is only home with you? 

And how then did you earn your house that name 

When judged by years it's relatively new? 

My home is not my home here just the same. 

And so I will be happy as I must 

Although without you sugar tastes as dust. 

Sonnet II 

What sweetened torture I endure each day 

When hour after hour passes by 

And still I feel so very far away 

From that which I desire - yes, thee and I 

Yet rosey is my sadness, for ere now, 

I never had pined after someone's touch 

Nor eyes, nor lips, nor hands, nor raven brow 

And here I am missing almost too much. 

My paradox is that I weep at this 

While being glad I have a love to miss. 

Sonnet III 

Heartsick have I been this long, long day 

Heavy is my disposition, yet 

I smile and try my best to hide away 

The pain, the life, the love I can't forget 

Sorry am I for the ones I fool 

They ask for nothing save my company 

And yet I cannot seem to break the rule 

That sayeth once I love twice bound I'll be 

Alas, I often slip and to them show 

That far away my heart desires to go. 

Sonnet IV 

It seems only a moment past 

I listened to the dulcet tone 

Of thy too far off voice at last 

But now I find myself alone 

Yet, my eyes closed, I am not so 

For underneath my fingertips 

I feel your flesh, caressing slow, 

And hold thy tongue between my lips 

Past caring how forlorn it seems 

I'll sleep to meet you in my dreams.
