i was a deaf boy

it's a mystery
no one ever solved
as to how i came to be
dead gone and dissolved
and it's been a long time
and still no one
knows what happened
does she suffer
since i've been gone
does she still look for my killer
to slap metal cuffs on
his wrists and put him away

i was a deaf boy
she is a hearing girl

when i was a small child
i was the greatest piano player
while i was playing from memory
she noticed and walked in on me
tapped my shoulder and signed to me
that was beautiful
she never knew
i signed it's all visual
listen i'll play you
falling snow

i was a deaf boy
who could hear once
she is a hearing girl
whos voice i wanted to hear
the nothing whispers
she made in my ear

a blow to the head took me out
and it was dark and that was it
