Never Chary

Vincent we were never chary that is why we are now so forever sorry after losing you one starry starry night when you gave up the fight when you turned out the light when two wrongs became right and that's when you so amazingly gifted had your burdens lifted and then you flew and drifted out of view into the hue of your favorite midnight blue sailing, wailing away from yesterday not caring anymore what they had to say coming to rest in the forbidden silent grey where we miss you still today now you are safe from tomorrow's sorrow safe from the brilliance of your brain safe from the perpetual pain just let it rain on them warm beautiful colors on a summer's breeze or perhaps a virtuous snow floating delicately down maybe then they'll listen maybe then they'd know You know, your beauty still paints our souls And your roses and the daffodils They still grow But Vincent, you You didn't have to go
