The Red Silk Tie

I’m taking a slow look around The cold rain hits the ground My mind is soaked with great distress The rain is ruining my silky dress This dark street is cold and alone I stand near a dead pay phone Puddles gather at my feet This is where we said we’d meet Over an hour has passed me by I hope you wore your red silk tie Sirens fill the gaping hole As if it wrenched my very soul At that point I think I knew The blaring sirens were for you Split the silence from my scream I wish to wake now from my dream Stillness fills our lifeless home I never thought I’d be alone It rained the day you went to dust I’ll say goodbye, if I must As I hang my head to cry I crumble up your red silk tie
