(A lone voice whispers)
Do you still miss me before we were destroyed and betrayed
Would you tell anyone the truth
Even if God forced you to confess under duress
Although I know I've caused you so much distress
Does your inner circle still revolt like
Mary Harris Jones
The grandmother of all agitators
Casting wild spells
When they hear my name
Whenever you visit friends who respond with wide alligator smiles
Before commenting on my tragic previous lifestyle
Like one of its many unwarranted administrators
I may now dance amongst the silvery stars
No longer a member of your life's smiling parade
No more to sing
Smile or kiss
No more to hold hands with someone they really miss and watch the sunset
Lost in each others eyes in total bliss
But if only I could see you one last time
I would move heaven and earth like Che Guevara
For you are my candelabra in the darkness
My second heartbeat
Which always wakes me like my own version of Desiderata
At 4 am
In the middle of each lonely heartbroken night
In here
Amongst the ever-moving shadows of The Great In-Between
I miss you
Alanna
I just hope and pray you're happy still living pill free
In a new era
So just remember me
Your forever one and only
Daraya
The silent watcher who's now a citizen on the other side
Lost
But happy tonight
Just listening to Prince Rogers Nelson perform a show and sing
Sometimes it snows in April
In The Hotel California
As the Pharisee's Golden Bells
Hidden all around us
Rings
