Don't leave

                        for a month and a day,
                       even for eternity
Don't leave
                       oh, for these gallows may

                       put rest into my journey
Don't leave
                       for a hasty jiffy
                       or a full-length second
Don't leave

for lights from the city
misses your glow, I reckon

Naïve,

I was for a long time

my silhouette dissolving
Naïve,

hearing peals of chime,

your shunned shadows evolving
Naïve,

oh my eyelids flutter

until the sun rises east
Naïve,

"sorry," shall i utter?

but I'll be waiting, at least
