Have you gone?


Prolonged silence came forth today
Jack the Ripper was present
Taking the essence of my heart away
Wrapping it up in a blood stained towel
And has thrown it into a river of salty tears
The sting, the hurt, the pain
What was there to gain?
No one around to witness such a scene
Why, oh why, must you be so mean?

If only Jack could feel the pain brought upon
Such pain, so undeserving
Such nonchalantness, so felt
Perhaps his river has ran dry
No more feelings to feel
No more tears to spill
Has he closed the dark cloak around his heart?
Don't leave that someone dear in the dark
Come back Jack and don't disappear
The nightingale of your nightly wanderings is still here.
