Gone -

You seemed ok late that day

It was the night when you slid away.

I spent all my days finding my future

Making all my calculations of saints.

I’ve got novels, poems, my parents' eyes

But I ache.

The truth…

Without you…

Silence falling,

It was just an overture

And I was sure that

I would wake up And you’d be gone.

I brought all my strength to bear

On a problem that wasn’t there.

Silence falling,

It was just an overture

I was sure that

And as we left the room

I knew it would be soon

Should’ve known right then

That this was goodbye.

The silence falling,

It was just an overture

I was sure that

That I would wake up Look on your face

Steady in this place

Silence falling,

It was just an overture

But I was sure that

I would wake up And you’d be…
