In a letter, you wrote farewell
Without a reason,
Without a hope to cling on.
I call you out in anguish
In the middle of the night
Whatever happened to those words
Of eternal togetherness and love?
Those words sublime all gone astray
Leaving stunned void behind them
Tell me something, anything
I know you have thoughts
Like those marbles in that hat
That are hard to retrieve
But please do not leave
Without some kind of word
To drive me in aversion
And go beyond denial
To kill this pain inside |
