When all the moves had been right

But the outcome wrong

An aftertaste

Of deceit and poison

Do you know the chilling fright

That every stroke turn strike

And every single word may have come

From a now forked tongue?

Have you shut the shroud

Over love once loud

Reduced to silence?

But when your eyes clear of clouds

May you move on yet moving with

Not erasing memories

To shut off the pain

Your love was not in vain

And in you it remains

May you sleep tight tonight

You've done what you could

And that's just right

Maybe tomorrow you'll further the fight

But before you go, smash the ice

With the weight of your dying heart

And don't forget not to smile

Break that window, jump that fence

And go forth yonder hence

'Cause you're not the only one alone

And our stories ain't set in stone

And yours barely begins

Its arc pointing to the heavens
