Things Stay But People Go
You are in sweet tunes and verse.
As our love drives by
In a hearse.
When leafy escape I pursue
There always stands an invisible you.
On country walks
Your ghost still talks.
I sacrifice my tears
To moonlight bliss.
I swear you quell my fears
With softest kiss.
The coffee stain
On my book of Keats.
The park in summer
Our special seats.
You bought me a watch
When we first met.
Now time is just a constant threat.
Do you still wear your gold anklet?
You are in my bath
When i take a shave.
I can hear you laugh
As I tend the grave
Of a love that died.
The flowers I save
For the times we cried.
In case you return.
My passion burn
Will never heal.
I hold your hand
In a purple sky
Now nothing's real
And dissolve into cloud
As our souls part and flee.
And shout out loud
So silently
That won't you please
Come back to me.
-Yet, still sweet breeze
Does kisses blow.
While things stay
But people go.
