goodbye II

i will sing for you.

if you let me.

i will sing for you.

though my tongue knows not the words.

and my heart is numb.

you are at a loss. your adieu but a mumble.

i will sing for you. of the endless dawn. of flights of fancy. occupying our distressed embarrassment. to hide the fact that we are dancing in circles.

of the eternal dusk. in the dim light we keep. unspoken promises. doubts and dreams.

i will sing for you. for i will teach my tongue and force my heart. to utter the words and hum the notes. meaningless now.

you eye the horizon. my song fades...
