Fullness of Time

notes:
Is it true what I heard
That you left town
How can the birds sing
With you not around
The last words you said
Ring in my head
As the world comes tumbling down
The swans on the lake
Hang their heads in despair
They refuse to look up
If they won’t see you there
And the flowers you left
Look so bereft
With their leaves all
Spotted and brown
I believed in the words
That you said to me
About how together
We always would be
But those sweet words
Meant nothing to you
You washed them away
Down the drain like shampoo
Now my days crawl by
Like I’m walking hot coals
And my nights won’t end
Like the screams of dead souls
And the house that we built
Has crumbled and fell
What I took for love
Was just being under your spell
The sun hides it’s face
Away in the clouds
And the moon stays alone
Away from the crowds
The stars burn out
One by one
Cant it really be over
Can my race have been run
One of these days
I will pick myself up
Take stock of what I go
And see it’s a lot
But for now I’ll just
Sit here and stare
And contemplate where you are
And why I’m not there
The sun’s coming up
A new day has dawned
I think I’ll go out
Pick your things off the lawn
I’ll keep them safe
I’ll put them with mine
Just in case you come back
In the fullness of time
