Since she's been gone from his life
stars in the night have lost their spark
The sun has lost it's sheen. Colors
of the rainbow now bleed into each other;
it's no longer a rainbow.
The house he lives in was once a home;
it still has a roof, but what good is it
on a house so empty? He pricks up his ears
day in, day out, anticipating
her to knock on the door again.
He's been looking out the window
watching strange faces pass
east and west, wishing he'd spot her.
He's wistfully wondering...
"How long will I have to wait?,"
He saw her smiling face
in the distant full moon,
blinked and didn't see her vanish.
He's been missing her ever since.
