Goodbye Waiting

 

 

There’s a silence hanging over my shoulder

And a dream hanging over my window

There’s a goodbye waiting for me

Around every turn and every bolder

 

Nothing’s following me, save hate

Nothing’s leading me, save fear

Nothing’s told me how to live, but my art

And we’ll see how much I can predict fate

 

Every angle taken at me spills my words

Every color given to me proves false,

Any wonder keeps on going

Even I can’t figure what’s so absurd

 

There’s a fallow field in my mind

And I can’t tell you what it fills

There’s a goodbye waiting for me

And I know it’s can’t be kind…
