No Song

Wine and old boots 
All clarity gone
Old cloudy diamonds 
He left me with no song.

Dandelion wine pulled from the 
root
Nighttime coming on
Shattered vases on the floor
He left me with no song.

Red, white, and pink those 
fruits
Passing through till dawn
Dusty, dirty windowpanes
He left me with no song.

Flowering on the vine thy 
shoots 
The victim of a con
Cracks in my glasses
He left me with no song.

Sweet nectar and playing flutes
Broken dreams from yon
Leaving only a gaping heart
He left me with no song.
