Song of farewell

Mouth out those words,

Sing the song you once sung,

Hold me tight....
Let me drop

The crow screeched,
And was said insane
The minutes, the hours, the days,

Passed

I waited in silence,
Til he cried out my name,
He said I was next,

Next on his list,

Tonight you'd cry,
Tomorow would soon be bliss,

So I sat on those steps,

Where we once stood together
Linked by life,

Now I stood alone,
Torn by strife

What was let undone,
Came to pass,

The familiar wind
Blew in its hurtful past
The tune of farewell
Played its last

Blackened by truth:
I went home
Your guilt at hand,
A knife in my throat.
