Helplessly Hoping

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
 Awaiting a word
 Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit
 He runs wishing he could fly
 Only to trip at the sound of goodbye
 Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
 At the empty place inside
 Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
 He worries
 Did he hear a goodbye
 Or even hello
 They are one person
 They are two alone
 They are three together
 They are for each other
 Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you
 Confusion has its cost
 Love isn't lying
 It's loose in a lady who lingers
 Saying she is lost
 And choking on hello
 They are one person
 They are two alone
 They are three together
 They are for each other
