she doesn't live here anymore

we grew up together

we've been here forever. barefoot in the summer

cold in stormy weather. she taught me all there is

like magic and love

lots of forgotten words

but now

she doesn't live here anymore. she's off and she's gone

she doesn't live here anymore. i'm sorry that's all there is to it

i'm sorry that's all

she dressed just like a painter

a female street picasso

and i

i will remember the heaven in her laughter. and the scent of her sweet perfume when we made love

under an august moon

but now

she doesn't live here anymore. she's off and she's gone

she doesn't live here anymore. she's gone since long

so long

she doesn't live here anymore. she took off and left home

she doesn't live here anymore. i'm sorry that's all there is to it

i'm sorry that's all. that's all.
