Didn't we almost have it all?
Can’t close my eyes
or I’ll see your face –
I remember the day I almost
lost
~you~
walked away and didn’t look back
I cried for hours
couldn’t catch my breath
called out your name
hoping you would hear
knowing you wouldn’t
~listen~
to the silence that surrounds us.
Why is it so difficult now
to talk about
~something~
hurts deep down,
like a bruise on the underside
of someone’s heart.
An emptiness floats above my head
waiting to descend
~again~
I wait for him to call
Will he remember tonight?
No,
it’s booze and friends that occupy his
~time~
for a change,
something new
fix the problems we started out with,
leave the new ones for
~tomorrow~
I see him
He kisses me passionately
as if he’s had a revelation
some new philosophy
that reminds him of our
~love~
Your girl,
she signed the note
before she left him alone.
