Don't Know What to Sing

I don't know what to sing anymore
Of if I should, or can, or will.
I have reached a pinnacle, a silence
As you lie there, still.

And where do we go from here,
Where do I ask the questions,
To whom do I turn for the shoulder,
The ear, the answers, the silence that answers?

You, who allowed me to grow up at my
Own pace, slow and graceless, haphazard
and finding my own answers, slowly
And without a single judgment, it seemed.  

And now I have to in a single moment.
Grow up.
And I don't know what to sing anymore.
