Long distant fall
Johnclarestokes
Yesterday I heard the sirens heading your way
Later I learned you had fallen and couldn’t get up
And I was saddened by my long ago prophecy
That this fall began when we broke up
It wasn’t so much that being mine was grand
That immunity from distant falling was granted
It was best we never made a home stand
That the Passion flowers were never planted
We went our separate ways and faded in memory
Occasionally I would ask whatever came of you
Someone would vaguely say she seems happy
I’d nod and think of sirens flashing red and blue
Can rehabs mend the lovers lives long fallen
Prophecy fulfilled can be such a cruel thing
In the night I’m awakened by your frantic calling
I lay there and count the haunted rings.
