calling out
in the darkness
my voice goes
unheard
what its about
this harshness
what it shows
is absurd
i am tired
and weary
from my travels
you see
my thoughts expired
i'm rather leary
as things unravel
before me
i see you
in the distance
standing there
alone
what i do
with hesitance
seems unfair
cold to the bone
i walk away
knowing
you sense
me
you stay
showing
in the present tense
you are free
you didn't hear
my words
you didn't see
my face
so pure
unheard
for free
i stated my case
time and again
you've waited
for me
my friend
i've debated
what is to be
and it is time
now
for me to end
this
this rhyme
somehow
i fear
won't mend
our broken wish

and down drops the book
so tattered and torn
from a quick look
you can see what's sworn
to have been my life
was mine alone
no longer a wife
as its been shown
some things last
others die quickly
it's all in the past
and in these pages
you'll never see
a tear escape me
my cheeks so pale
this wasn't free
but neither was the tale
i didn't clear the cost
and so now i must go
alone but not lost
for i know, yes, i know
where i was meant to be
fair thee well
the night calls out to me
back into the well
i go
toss in your penny
for a dream you wish to mae
but not for any
you intend for me to fake

a song is sung but not to be completed
for in this life i've been defeated
in me now these thoughts have seeded
into places my dreams created
and the garden grows so beautiful to some
as i hide beneath the willow coming undone
here i am, the only one
to sing this song never meant to be sung
