Trumpets No Longer Call

i seep out of your life
my grip lessens
there is a darker place
and now it starts to beckon
trumpets suddenly,
no longer call
i feel myself slipping
and I start to fall
i watched you as you smiled
and I watch as you let go
suddenly all the tension,
starts to show
confidence ebbs away
i know our day is over
and that it can no longer stay
i seep out of your life
your grip lessens
there is a fearful place
and now it starts to beckon
