won't you pay
attention
just for me?
just this one time?
please, just let me see?

i've waited for you
for days
for years and
months and
minutes

but all that you
leave to show for yourself
are the days
and years and
months and minutes

that you stay away

but i need you here
for closure
or at least for a
goodbye

because
your face is
like a melody
that won't leave
my head

and all i want is
the music to stop
or at least to come
to a blissful
temporary
end
