Shadow In My Eyes

Awakening crying

Wasn't what I planned for today.

Falling asleep plundering

The words I had to say.

A room full of people

Anticipating your return.

All the while each individual

Staring at your urn.

If only I had one more chance

To tell you how I feel.

I would shout it from the highest high on the widest hill.

I'm not perfect with the words I say

Nor do I show it in my smile.

A simple gesture in waving my hands

Doesn't slender my style.

All I get to do

For my last goodbye.

Is hum it with my tears

Or show a shadow in my eyes.
