My flag is at half mast
I ripped my garment for thee
My ashen face is downcast
And several doves have been released
Sixty seconds to respect
Much less seconds to be born
And a lifetime to reflect
On life for which to mourn
The bells, they toll for thee

If I’m digging you like ditches

Then unrequited is my lust
Unreturned are my kisses
If mistaken are my pitches
Like a perfect page of glitches
Or abandoned box of bitches
Or real purpose with no [...]
