Hopelessly hoping

Helplessly hoping,
her harlequin hovers nearby,
awaiting a word.

Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit,
he runs, wishing he could fly.

Only to trip at the sound of goodbye.

Wordlessly watching he waits, by the window and wonders at the empty place inside.

Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams,
he worries; did he hear a goodbye ?

Or even hello ?

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other.

Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you confusion has it's cost.

Love isn't isn't lying,
it's loose in a lady who lingers,
saying she is lost

And choking on hello.

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other.
