Drip by drip

day by day

chip by chip

love starts to fray.

Game by game

play by play

shame by shame

we look away.

Did you reach out?

I did not see

- tricked by the mist

swirling about

you and me.

Erosion.

Erosion.

Cliffs proud and high

slip by and by

into the sea

Commentary
 So what shall we say became of  our love?  What  happened to the romantic  rollercoaster ride  that we climbed aboard some  time ago?

Touch untouched

looks not looked

tired neglect

hooks thus unhooked.

Cut words cut

lie then lies

shut doors shut.

An orchid dies.

Did you reach out?

I did not see

- tricked by the mist

swirling about

you and me.

Erosion.

Erosion.

Cliffs proud and high

slip by and by

into the sea.

Unheed seeds

sown long ago.

Feed the weeds.

Unseen they grow.

Waves not waved,

Let forget.

Safe, not saved.

Watch, watch not,

Suns still shall set

Repair deferred

Denial preferred

as the earth slipped

Truth cannot uncloud

the tragic beauty of our script.

Erosion.

Erosion.

Cliffs proud and high

slip by and by

into the sea.

And did you reach out?

I did not see

- tricked by the mist

swirling about

you and me.

Erosion.

Erosion.

Cliffs proud and high

slip by and by

into the sea.
