i sang her those songs

on moving on

meaning every line

a fool does that

takes life literally

then she was gone

left me holding on

to nothing but me

took a walk back there

cold place half empty

top of the stair

faded picture she’d drawn

on somebody else’s

wallpaper falling down

notice on the doors

warning of demolition

gave dates to come

walked away taking only sadness

anything worth more than nothing

had been looted long gone

all i had was a dark echo

of sad songs once sung

by a fool who knew no better
