IX.
Goodbye.

A subtle crease no bigger than the heart of a fly,
Dipped in a well of hesitance,
A thought
An idea
A moment
Due to the fear and reticence,

A subtle crease no bigger than the heart of a fly,
Dipped in a well of blood,
A thought
An idea
An action
Disguised in the form of love,

A subtle crease no bigger than the heart of a fly,
Dipped in the well of blood,
A child,
A family,
A home,
Written in the name of...

i.

Distance isn’t fun,
Standing alone in heaven,
Hoping you will come.

ii.

Tragedy has struck,
Pain, shock and embarrassment,
It ends here tonight.

iii.

Sister it is I,
The brother whom you deny,
Hope you are alright.

iv.

I love you mother,
Your son is a big boy now,
I didn’t make it.

Curious, compassionate, caring,
Each adjective described,

Happy, humble, humorous,
Each adjective a little more inspired,

Beautiful, bubbly, brilliant,
Everyone would write,

Sad, sorrowful, stagnant,
They all would’ve lied,

Torment, torture, twinge,
They all would have tried,

Oh Delilah, Delilah,
Sweet poor Delilah,

If only they loved you then, as they do now,
If only they became your friend, as they do now,
If only they held your head, when you drowned,

Oh Delilah, Delilah
Sweet poor Delilah

How nice they have become,
How sweet have they sung,

Delilah they loved you
With barbwire tongues,
Delilah they loved you
Like sour milk, bread crumbs

Delilah you’re silence,
Delilah you’re lonely,
Delilah you’re sad,
Delilah you’re distant,

But
Delilah you’re truth,
Delilah you’re fact,
Delilah you’re cause,
Delilah you’re honesty,

But
Delilah it’s sad,
Delilah they only loved you because now you’re...
