Melody Eternal
By Jennifer Pillinger

A dying melody
Faded by the years
A breaking harmony
Reaching for your ears
Song from eternity
Claiming back your tears
A lonely kitten cry
A forgotten waterfall
A lost wind’s sigh
A keening deathly call
Telling you that I
Cannot come back at all
Melody eternal
Knocking at your door
Telling you not
To wait anymore
I’m not returning
Now you can be sure
A silent song
From beyond the sun
Trying to stop you
Before you turn and run
From the pain inside
And the damage that’s been done
It’s going to your soul
Asking why
I had to go
I had to die
A shooting star in the sky
Gently waves breaking on the sea shore
A mountain stream passing by
But you don’t want to hear this song any more
Melody eternal
Dying at your heart
Breaking through your soul
And tearing you apart
It doesn’t have an end
And no one knows its start
Melody eternal
Leave this boy alone
He’s already dying
In this world as cold as stone
Maybe then he’ll join me
And won’t be on his own
