Paikin's Song

But She Was Gone

But she was gone
Oh silently
And it was all that he could do
To not scream aloud
As he felt him so
Crushed in his sense
Of damned disappointment

Oh Kaeina
Why did you leave
As leave you did
For surely you could have stayed
To talk to me more
Rather than fade you away
Like a ghost

Thus to his knees
He fell he fell
Tearing up
And regretting his haste
In turning away
From his old life

But the done was done
And he could not pop back in
With lovely Lisa
Until she came and called to him
That they would go
And return them back
To the world home

Charles Petrie
