Today's Verse: 18 March 2021

Felice has gone away
Dawn saw her silent leaving
Her neighbours fret and pray
She will not be returning

We loved her very much
We loved her very, very much
We loved her very much
Now she's gone away

I saw you hesitate
In between both now and then
Trying to seduce fate
Any way you lose and win

I love you very much
I love you very, very much
I love you very much
Now you've gone away

Daybreak came
I fell asleep
Afraid of losing you

When I awake
My mind at ease
You tell me what I always knew

Fire will consume us
In smoke we wander home
Water will entomb us
Nevermore to be alone

I loved you very much
I loved you very, very much
I loved you very much
And now you've gone away

Dancing with my demons
Making out like my sweet lord
The world is only seeming
A dream and nothing more

We love you very much
We love you very, very much
We love you very much
Now that you've gone away

A lot of disappearing in your latest. As always, brilliant half-rhymes.

I think of it as one of those poignant 70s ballads. Bitter sweet, and maybe cloying. Easy to sing along to or hum to yourself.

I'm so sorry I stepped away from participating in this space. I've loved you very much and will check back in soon.
