It was barely just a thought
But it circled like a vulture
I never meant to give it more
Than a scrap of a voice
It was barely just a word
But it dragged you down
Weighing like a feathered stone
At the lobes of your ears
It was barely just an inch
I saw you move just as quick
I scarcely breathed the moment
And saw you disappear
And it was barely just a year
Until I heard you return
And the vultures are waiting
For barely just a thought again.
