Knew Her Gone

Had I known, Hell I knew

What time was gone when mother left you

As with dawn, grey skies more

See the lies Delilah wore

I don't know what the cause

I only know what was

Hesitation, self-loathing

Never brought the mountains to the lonely

I wanted skies more, always skies more

I cannot disguise or hide behind the need to know

Before me stood the once believed eternal

We stayed silent, my breath stolen

Until my eyes tripped down

Their backlit shapes to the flow

The water flow that carries them away
