November 3rd
Is how the letter started
That I found the day before yesterday
It will grow, like I anticipated,
Into a familiar nightmare
Despair is closing in on me
Because she got what she wanted
October
So sudden and chilly
When the frost overcame the night
Maybe it was the walk
By the sea
In a relentless storm
That summoned me,
Strengthened me, nourished me
But she got what she wanted
Will I see you
Near that woman again?
Can I assure you
That never again
Will you have seen the last of me?
I stand by each and every word
This is all I want to have said
I could be faithful to the thought
That we were made for each other
But I wake up empty
Sometimes just as cold
Like the blue November morning outside
Do you think this is a good thing?
Did you get what you wanted?
Will I see you
Near that woman again?
Can I assure you
That never again
Will you have seen the last of me?
I stand by each and every word
This is all I want to have said
Why do you look so wounded?
Maybe you didn’t count on
Seeing me make a tough decision
Even though everything’s falling apart
For me, it’s the end
A new beginning
Something new
With or without you
Will I see you
Near that woman again?
Can I assure you
That never again
Will you have seen the last of me?
I stand by each and every word
This is all I want to have said
