You're a woman
Who is always
surrounded by chairs
You're a woman
To whose name
Love haikus are created
A woman to whose health people drink daily
A woman who's forgiven for all mistakes
But you don't see
The sparkle anymore
I'm sitting at the table next to you, my gaze fixed on your life
And that one time it happened to me
You only said hello
And I felt how everything around me was lit by lightning
You only said hello
And I tipped all the liquorice on the table just like that
And I turned my head away when I saw people at your table staring at me
And you became a woman, whose image daily shatters my piece of mind
Everyone wants you
You get everything
Even when you ask for nothing
And that is just how it works
Everyone worships you
But you worship no one
But you could pick anyone
Because of you, women leave their relationships
Because those men only want to see your breasts
But you don't see the flair anymore
I'm sitting at the table next to you
My eyes closed while you glow
Until I hear the same voice
You only said hello
And I felt how everything around me was lit by lightning
You only said hello
And I poured all the liquorice on the table just like that
And I turned my head away when I saw people at your table staring at me
And you became a woman, whose image daily shatters my piece of mind
Everyone wants you
I only said hello
Because I knew this could never end well
I only said hello
Because I knew how much a smile hid behind it
So I downed my whiskey and winked my eye
And I started to leave
And you became a woman, whose image sometimes
Shatters my piece of mind
Because I know the chairs around you will change
The gang will always disappear
But you stay sitting there
And fade
