Don't Look Now

Venice - a broken heart,
A little red runner,
A crack in the arc
And though you've waved her goodbye
She has yet to depart
Wherever you are
Don't look now

Couples in endless braids
And empty hotel room
Beds left unmade
And you find mourning
Follows night each day
Wherever you lay
Don't look now

There's scissors in the street
And ribbons in the deep
You'll find your tragedy
Where each of these two meet
And if you close your eyelids tight
And if you look at what's inside
You'll find the only truth
Is your solitude

So drag your feet
Grind your teeth
Weep and protest your fate to the stars
But wherever you are
Don't look now
