The launch of dawn
Clouded gray
Creates this mornings’
Grim delay
Complete
There’s that awful sound
As my baby
Surely
Shot me
Down

So many years
We sailed above
On our sacred
Sea of love
But came a time
I did you wrong
Tried not
but fell
To
Persephone’s
Siren's
Song

Then I sense
some woeful sound
A mourning dove
Has gone aground
A bowman's barb
dropped me down
I see a spreading stain of blood
seems to surprise
my one true love

I'm so sorry for
This thing
I’ve done
Then I hear
Again that gun

A click
And then
That awful sound

As my baby
Surely

Shot me

Down
