Lingering Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

Verse 1

I can still feel you
it's cold-haunting
perfume hangs in the air

Verse 2

Are you patiently waiting
somewhere beyond
deaths doorway

Chorus

That whispered voice-calling out
no laughter in the night
only falling tears

Bridge

And I am alone
standing bewildered
Can feel the beating of my heart
that inner voice telling me to beware
Out of the darkness
touching-ever gently belonging
How could it feel so wrong
when memories held are so right

Chorus

That whispered voice-calling out
no laughter in the night
only falling tears

Verse 3

Without your love
to feel me-to see me
break this unwanted silence

Verse 4

I am alone now
damned from your embrace
but still you're-lingering

Chorus

That whispered voice-calling out
no laughter in the night
only falling tears

Bridge

And I am alone
standing bewildered
Can feel the beating of my heart
that inner voice telling me to beware
Out of the darkness
touching-ever gently belonging
How could it feel so wrong
when memories held are so right-
