A Brief High, A Deep Sigh

a brief high
then a deep sigh
the death throes of all that I know
such a real sign, all mine
can't you break the spell?

though it's nailed down, it's unsound
a waste of effort, with jangling nerves of the worst kind
you know why it's better than saying goodbye
a brief high...

now recall the last fall
the crash of timber and visible traces of mistakes
oh please wait, and can't you show a little concern now?
you know how we both sing that familiar refrain
"won't you be mine" - but you'll find
it's better than saying goodbye - a deep sigh...
