No, I Just Couldn'T - - - Say Goodbye
aimlessly afloat on maple leaves
caught in the sky,
the abstract fear of heights began
telling time a lie-
the grains of sand caught in glass
began to melt,
my right hand fought hard to grasp
what your heart felt
o’er the mount in front of the fount
ravens soar wide,
telling fairytales of she who wails
‘cause her quill cried-
amidst the drift i lost the will to be
what i knew i should,
caught in between slivers of fawn
barren oak wood
cashmere blankets warm me
when i think of you,
they comfort and give what my
soul could never do-
i sit amongst the chartreuse blades
combing roses white,
for i never knew what your heart
felt like that night
now i lay in graven dreams and
pray to angels high-
allow my heart to let go of what
i could not say goodbye
