Followed your letters to the leaves,
Praying for a ghost in ringing pleas.
I will fail, trailing slower.
Forgotten fire circles far ahead,
Guiltless for the kindling they've been fed.
I thought I'd get closer.
I'm sorry love is never loud enough,
Waking in the wings of falling fledglings
I'm sorry I did not feel you give up
When there was no way to listen.
I thought I'd get closure.
I'm not getting closure.
Followed your letters to the leaves,
Praying for a ghost in ringing pleas.
