Next to a forgotten river
Whose name was lost
On startled lips
You hesitantly show me
Your heart with
A final goodbye
Taking with you
The last thread
Of our love
While never looking back
Into the shadowy darkness
To see me
Still waiting beneath
The city night sky
Arriving at empty questions
In what seems like years
Waiting just waiting
For the following day to
Dawn and know I'm still
Center stage in my own
Little play amongst the
Endless stillness wondering
Will you ever return
Here to protect me
From this emptiness?
