Waste your water, lovely lady
Deep in dappled valleys, beneath trees, shady
Wet your cheeks and sob so sweet
Let longing rest within, and eat.
He left you here to fight alone
Against the tide of dark and stone
Where he’s gone is now his home
Like the sorrows of a dusty tome.
The sunshine burns away to black
Pinpricked starpoints glimmer back
And were you to rise and curse the sky
It would not even deign to sigh.
You’re left alone in Spring’s embrace
He’s gone to someone new, you can’t give chase
For he left no return address,
Merely a lonesome, empty mess.
Waste your water, jilted lass,
He’s gone for good, you bet your ass.
