    LAST DAY OF SEPTEMBER

    This is a simple story of a couple who have been together for many years and now....

    How long have you been aware
    That we'd drifted apart
    For once we danced in the Round
    To the beat of our hearts
    Yet now I find
    Our hearts a step out of time
    With no rhythm nor rhyme

    Can I conclude
    Without being rude
    Eccentricites you once thought rare
    Are no longer approved
    Subtle gesticulations
    Once greeted with lust
    Now met with a distrustful agitation

    I had become
    Quite comfortable in my skin
    Now do we begin
    The process
    Of being friends
    Or succumb to feelings within
    With nothing to remember
    A prologue of the past
    On the last
    Day of September

    Are you upset
    Or better yet resigned
    For once we danced
    To the rhythm
    Of your heart and mine
    Yet what once was sublime
    Is now out of step
    With time

    Can I decide
    The proper exit I choose
    I'll take the side door
    For I know you abhor
    Our lives in the news
    If anyone asks
    Tell them I fell
    While dancing at the Ball
    With a Southern Belle

    I had become
    Quite easy to please
    Now I'm aware your suddenly quiet demeanor
    Was the result of a woman berieved
    Mourning a death
    Of 2 hearts apart
    Of a song that abuptly ends
    Never again to start
    Hearts once warm and tender
    Turning like the page
    From the past
    On the last
    Day of September
