Met a stranger taking pictures Of a shadow that was I Smile-less poses; unknown causes; Tears of what could be goodbye. Shake this nightmares tale of whether, Slip this time of never know, Feel the grip of closer, closer, Hold me I don’t want to go I haven’t walked the paths I promised Or spent the days I thought I’d earned. A matchbox marks my total knowledge Half filled with hard lessons learned All those wasted words – those tricksters; All those useless verses penned, I would swap them in a moment For just one second with a friend. An old man falls in forest silent None to miss or hear his cry; Not a soul to grieve the parting And none to kiss this fool goodbye. |
