Words and music: Brian Booth, copyright 2005
Beautiful diva
Serial leaver
Thanks for the time that you stayed
It was fun while it lasted,
Now filed under ‘past’, it’s
A tape that’s often pulled out and played
And sometimes I’ll fast forward
And sometimes I’ll rewind
And sometimes I'll press ‘pause’ and
You glitter in my mind
No-one could keep you
Awake or asleep, you
Were always dreaming of what comes next
Then - just a note
That you casually wrote
You might has well just have sent a text
And sometimes I re-read it
Lines fade along each fold
Burned hard into my memory
It’s all of you I can hold
I’m chained yet I’m free
Where we both used to be
This space got big, doesn’t start or end
I write endless e-mails
Sagas and small tales
Then click your address - but I can’t hit ‘send’
Yes, this is all that’s left me
All my unspoken words
But when I try to speak them
A fatal exception occurs
Beautiful diva
Serial leaver
Who are you with? - are you happy there?
Remember me fondly
Remember the bond we
Once had - may still do - I can’t help but care...
