Six Hours of Darkness

With rope warn hands,
And shoes of lead,
I walked despite the pain,

Six hours of darkness,
Came and went,
But left me here unchanged,

Just as you'd swear,
There's no one there,
She'll whisper in your ear,

Her words they float,
Like exhaled smoke,
And this,
This is the sound,
You would hear,

I take a breath,
Of frozen air,
And find my tears have gone,

A fleeting urge that left me here,
Now rolled on like the sun,

A dream recalls the town groaned
With women drunk on rum,
No morning breaks the silence quakes
And this,
This is the sound,
That comes,

You wrap up every hope in words,
She whispered in your ear,
There'll be no song,
The music's gone,
Just silence,
Not a sound,
To hear
