TAKING A TURN

I will wait, I'll just wait
till for you becomes too late,
I will wait till you think you should return,
I'll be singing, I'll be crying,
I'll be dancing, I'll be dying,
in the midst of all these things, I'll take a turn.

My brain shrapnel by your clout
and my guts inside out,
I will turn into a feckless pale being,
insufficient for aggression,
just observing your progression
going backwards to a time that has been.

"Where the hell have you been, dear?
There is no one for you here,
just go back, I cannot love, I am a ghost,
with your grief I sympathize,
maybe now you realize
that a time that has been has not been lost".

I think Trixie said it well. It does have a whimsical stutter and at the same is musical. Nicely done.

This is excellent stuff.

Me likey

I liked this one a lot Pelegrino. For me it has the feel of a Cohen piece. There are stutters, the language is conversational, and for me it did a great job of conveying emotion. Simplistic and effective, very nicely done.

& a time that has been has not been lost ......

Heart -tugging pathos here , Pel is it an allusion to the " Anno d'amore" song or is there an autobiographical tit-bit ensconced in verse here ?
