Evidently So

There’s a shamed look in your eyes

Wasn’t there before, I’d know

Different than the venial or trite

A flash of silver on the lake

Broke a calm so deeply known

It left a chasm wider than the sea

It killed the dinosaurs and put two buckles in the knees

A doleful wind through Douglas pleading, “Go, go, please go

I wish you wouldn’t go, go, please go.”

I only wish you’d never tried to hide

What’s obvious and evidently so

There’s something else I have to know

If I’m to carry on

If you were merciful you’d answer it:

What do I have to do to kill this love?
