Heart as Wrote
Au contraire, au contraire,
this is not just the end.
Play a smile for me dear,
newly penned.
Play it well, play it well,
lose me naught but a note.
I'll sing a smile for you dear,
heart as wrote.
Once it stops, it will never start again.
Still, until then, we bide our time,
they get in line to hear our souls
cry out for remembrance,
deliverance
and sorrow unfolds...
Still it seems, still it seems
that a pause marks an end
that our last rasping breaths
cannot mend.
And at last, and at last,
I can hear every note
as I sing for you darling...
heart as wrote.
The layout has a purpose, but it made the poem too wide to fit properly. Try copying/pasting it into a word document at a small font, and it should paste in the proper format, if you really want to see it properly.
