I am taking your half smile,
that which you let escape when I invited you out.
I am taking the winter months,
confessing secrets,
melting the love that I gave you.
And say, what did you see in me
to say yes that afternoon
and now to leave everything behind?
The memory drowning me,
your good bye drowning me,
The sirens sounded
in our sad bedroom.
The silence dethrones you,
and the emptiness inside me
becomes eternal and devours me,
there is a chasm between us.
You are taking the sad routine,
the insult and the filth,
the anguish of seeing me at your side happy.
And you take the resentment and the regret,
the nighttime messages,
while I would feign sleep.
And say, what did you see in me
to say yes that afternoon
and now to leave everything behind?
The memory drowning me,
your goodbye drowning me,
The sirens sounded
in our sad bedroom.
The silence dethrones you
and the emptiness inside me
becomes eternal and devours me,
there is a chasm between us.
And poor me,
I always knew that you were going to go,
but I didn't have the courage
to accept your treachery.
