Irretrievable and gone
It tells me you are not here
I know that part’s quite true
I keep hearing a ticking there it comes
I saw it come
I’m a man of my word
But there’s just me
Why are you here
What happened
I keep you secret
You are now opaque but why
What is your aim
Why did I fall in the first place
Who knows
But perhaps there is always
a love meant to fail
then returning and making
my mind turn to you
You were a mystery
I never will plumb
I took your bait and gave mine
in the cool of the night
And the lines that you spoke
were the chance I took
and they blew away as
fast as smoke and forest fires
So I will be sitting
and pondering off and on
And you will be there
irretrievable
and
gone
