Her Last Amen
She sings her way to fame or so it seems
beneath the karaoke gleam of a D.J. , spot lights
The pulse of the music flashes with pupil high
as she sings cautiously through amicable chit chat
Intermittent eyes sprinkle up the stage
as she sings the newest rage, her voice is lost
amongst the suds and salutary wine ;
Beneath the neon light of a karaoke legion
she croons a sorrowed song of running home
While his liquid eyes of brown turn raindrop hue
his secret telegraph arrives, as what to do
By the time she is done with her song
the descent of an annihilated tear
that captivated her for years arrives,
slaying her grief and wiping it clean;
Though she sings like never before
she cries like never before,
she is met with a silent applause
and a thunderous undeniable truth,
he doesn't live here, anymore.
