                        Ending day
            We talked away the end of the sun’s fade
            the room grew dark and her eyes grew grey
            she told me that I should leave …
            there was nothing…
                 nothing more to say.
            I can’t believe its ended now;
            all the years still linger with me, somehow.
            The rooms … and the houses and the faces
              all the months and the places.
            All my lies and untruths have come back to me now
            its a hard bitter thing, to see.

         I wonder where the little boy in me
         will run to hide his head now
         whose warm skirts and tender embrace
         will save me now when I can’t go on
         I feel so all alone, an empty day
         the sky so gray with clouds
         love is gone and this emptiness
         that’s killing me just won’t go away
         I need someone to turn to
         someone I can hold and be held by
         Rose, I doubt I’ll ever be sorry
         for all that I’ve done
         but I’ll never like losing you
         I don’t understand why I’m so pressed
         to do what I do at such costs
         treasure, love, escape from my hand
         and leave me alone
         and I’ll ache for you everyday
         I’ll feel, inside of me, all your loss
         the empty hole where the little boy waits
         and waits… and waits…
