Adieu

And now I see so clearly

What you really meant

How I could love you so dearly

And for you my love I sent

 

You would take my hand in yours

And with trust I would follow you

The silence broken by the open door

Walk on through and be born anew

 

My house I built on the mound of dirt

You would cry and call me just the same

-Come down, share with me your hurt

A blind moth will seek no flame

 

My anguish my pain and sorrow

You took and held on as your own

You watched me slowly destroy my tomorrow

Against myself I cast that first stone

 

You could not take it in the end

Your soul so strong it burned so bright

You showed me my soul I could mend

The blind moth can again see the light

 

-Adieu
