helplessly hoping

helplessly hoping

her harlequin hovers nearby

awaiting a word

gasping at glimpses

of gentle true spirit

he runs

wishing he could fly

only to trip

at the sound of goodbye

wordlessly watching

he waits by the window

and wonders

at the empty place inside

heartlessly helping

himself to her bad dreams

he worries

did he hear a goodbye?

or even hello?

they are one person

they are two alone

they are three together

they are for each other

stand by the stairway

you'll see something certain

to tell you

confusion has its cost

love isn't lying

it's loose in a lady

who lingers

saying she is lost

and choking on hello

they are one person

they are two alone

they are three together

they are for each other
