You Just Left

Beyond my dull imagination you just left
You just left
Breaking my heart in two you just left
Do embraces come to naught?
I miss your loving arms
Sweet caress throughout the night
Loosing my endless charms
You just left.

How painful it is that you just left
You just left
Memories are wilted so you just left
Do you think at all of me?
Everything turns to gray
My faculties becoming numb
Afraid to wander, stray
You just left.

A pact of togetherness oh you just left
You just left
I lay soon to grave why you just left
Are you happy with someone?
My poor heart beats so slow
Calling you from nowhere
Blood never comes to flow
You just left.

Samisen is limited to three stanzas of 8 lines each, with a 3-syllable refrain appearing at the end of lines 1 and 3, and standing alone as lines 2 and 8. The defining the meter has been difficult to find because it has been described many different ways, but it appears to be a regular trochaic pattern ('u) with amphimacers ('u') for the refrain and for the end-rhyme in lines 5 and 7. Lines 1, 3, 4 and 6 have four feet, lines 5 and 7 have three feet, and lines 2 and 8 (the refrain) have one foot.
