Vital Severing


Vital Severing

 

Do you remember me?

You taught me how to sing

I took your everything

Your tears still stain my keys

 

Our vital severing

Brought growing pains

And now new flowers bloom

Where love once grew

 

Turn pages into time

Run from the past unkind

Burn pages; fill your pen

Epitaphs for one another’s pride

 

Our vital severing

Brought growing pains

And now new flowers bloom

Where love once grew

 

Two vines grow, far away

Each sings a song

In the spring their flowers bloom

To different tunes
