Because Her Name Means Heart...

Where will I be
when the Autumn leaves
fall on his piano?
And turn the world the same color as my
memories of you

You always breathed
in time with songbirds
when I rested my head on your shoulder
As we watched
the frosted dawn.

What he said is true
Your smile is the moon
So high, and proud
and frightened of waning
While you whisper to me
I'm content to be your star.

I'll never forget
when we snuck behind the carousel
you let your hair down
and showed me
an ocean of crystallized
black tears.

You say I taught you how to swear and be silly
But I only let the parrots
out of the cage.
