Abigail, I don't know what is left to say
My words have come unraveled, and meticulously undone
I slipped off my boots here in Amsterdam
To be something, somewhere, someone

I spent six weeks staring at these surly walls
You became the chorus of my melodious lays
I felt homeless in that dreary, empty room
No dreams in bright colors, only nightmares of grey

Still, I wish you hadn't noticed me standing there
I regret how my faithless eyes danced across you
While trying my hand at simple clarity
You disappeared from my field of view

Abigail, I failed as my father's son
Shadows followed me, by day and by night
I savored each twilight kiss we shared
But from this westward pedestal, at last, I must alight

It's true, we share a common vigor
But the disparity of our song is audible
Don't fret, my love, for time has not yet ceased
And the space between is a meager obstacle

I will carry your light within me
Because the darkness is just a parasite
Our orbit is forever decaying
But our legacy has now taken flight

Abigail, I know I won't arrive in time
To witness you emerge from your chrysalis
But delay not, for you are beautifully outlined
And it's past time for our past to be dismissed
