Song of desperation

Somewhere, a continent away

Plays a song of desperation

On repeat from day to night and night to day

His song of longing and regret

As I lie staring at the ceiling

The melody carries all the words he could never say

Who’s loving you now?

All my nine lives want different things

Some to hold your hand

Some to never see you again

Some are lonely

And some are glad it’s over

Some don’t want to let go

And some are already long gone

But like a stray cat

I wandered into your life one morning

Knowing I would never stay
