It isn’t that I don’t still sing for you
You simply no longer hear my voice
It’s lost in the harsh cacophony clamouring in your ears
Ground to nothing under the heel of doubt
Life’s boot to my throat closes off my song
There are only whispered notes of what was
And they too will soon fade
A plaintive diminuendo
You’ll strain to hear with your heart
