Hello Walls


Hello walls
how did things
go for you today?
Don't you miss her
since she upped
and walked away?
And I'll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me
but lonely walls
I'll keep you company.

Hello window
well I see that
you're still here.
Aren't you lonely since
our darlin' disappeared?
Well look here
is that a teardrop
in the corner of your pane?
Now don't you try to tell me
that it's rain.

She went away and left us
all alone the way she planned.
Yes we'll have to learn to
get along without her if we can.

Hello ceiling
I'm gonna stare
at you a while.
You know I can't sleep so
won't you bear with me awhile?
We must all stick together
or else I'll lose my mind.
I've got a feeling
she'll be gone
a long long time.
