Goodbye--Vivienne Loomis
It comes so slowly.
Like a tinnitus in your ear.
They'll think you're insane;
It's nothing they can hear.
But I know it's there;
You have so much to lose,
I'll keep your treasures
When it has taken you.
They'll imprison you
And try to take your mind.
But that is one thing
That they cannot do
Because you left it behind.
And all the world has seen you crash,
And I know that sound has ended.
But hey,
That's no way
To say goodbye.
(May 14, 1973)
