A Gentler Scheme

Yet you would leave me hanging

Out the window

Avid in my interest for you

Mid-gesture, mid-thought

Interrupted

 

Yet left hanging would I still sing

Thinking naught of chilly shoulders

 

Yet in laughing you are dying

Listener, I am, and sorrowed

Your softening whispers coaxing

Think you that a lower volume

Will set your words to a gentler scheme
