On a dismal winters eve
I had stood in the distance
And wept as I saw you leave
You had glanced back for a moment-As a tears escaped your eyes-Piercing the aching silence-With our unspoken goodbyes
Now again I stand alone
Seeing you ill and unraveled
Voiceless thoughts still linger
On this road we had once traveled.
Finally you speak, with a shuddering breath -The words you had longed to say
Then as the last leaf of a barren tree
You slowly whisper away
