A Slow Life

I heard you knock twice
Blurry you looked nice
So I let you in

Nothing in words before
We sat in back rows
Still like two mannequins

Alone with your book
You stared at your chucks
In my practice booth

Sore hands
With blood on the keys
I barely kept up
And yet you came to me

Now you are never coming back again
They said you fled
To find yourself and different friends
A slow life

No you are never coming back again
Because the darkness took you
Oversoon in death
In twilight

And there is a silence
A quiet violence
Where there was a song

You are unwell and gone
With our indifference
We just carry on

I was drunk when they came up to me
Remember so and so from university

Green eyes
Kept to herself
How could we have known
It was a cry for help

So you are never coming back again
They said you fled
To find yourself and different friends
A slow life

No you are never coming back again
Because the darkness took you
Oversoon in death
In twilight

No one to talk you off that ledge
In hindsite

Now you are never coming back again
Said you fled
To find yourself and different friends
A slow life

I pray you are resting
And this is simply
To say goodbye
