David Walby
Left Before the Tone
Pass the time of Revelations,
My love for you is already known,
Such was not at my discretion,
The message left before the tone.
I shan’t speak of sadness or of the gaping hole in my heart.
Nor I burden you with my tears of sin.
I made the wrong call,
Chased the bird at the wrong time.
I’d ask you to forgive me,
But my mistake was dire.
That is something I cannot require,
My love for you,
Was something of great power,
Forever doomed to remain at the top of the tower.
Pass the time of Revelations,
My love for you is already known,
Such was not at my discretion,
The message left before the tone.
