eileen

dear

you left too soon

went to the next room. if you haunt me

i'll sing for you. how the hinges move;

connecting me and you

is a doorway

you're knocking through. we walk down a dock

and the water is cold

you want me to

escort you. how i'd love to go

swim with you in death

but my heavy heart

won't let me tread. i must stay

on the shore. i am young

my blood warm. i can take you this far

now

my love

we must part. when blood and youth were warmer

we breathed summer like the sweet air

we found each other like a mirror. we were so optimistic

it was so easy to be. we we're young and naive. can you pull down the dawn?

it's been so dark since you've been gone

and we've been begging for the morning to come. we were so optimistic

it was so easy to be. we were young and naive. we'll be fine in the morning. we'll be fine in the morning. it's getting late so we must sleep. we'll see you in the morning

eileen.
