As you please

Nights fall heavy like an iron fist

 The silence taut and frail

 I weigh the depths of love and terror

 In this test I cannot fail

And what choices do I have?

Though you went all cold,

I still hold my hands close

Keeping the candle’s flame alive

It leans to the left, to the right

Similar to your decisions

I’m trying so hard to give it a soul

Why giving up too early, O love?

I still feel your fingers running

Over the knots of my heart

In circles you dared not make

The shy whispers and lazy smiles

I can still hear the muted steps you take

Elegantly proud, full and careful

But careful was not your way

When you stepped on my dreams

Nor was it your way

Of choosing words to say goodbye

‘Enough’ once, twice, thousand times

‘I cannot, I don’t want to’

I hear them repeating all over

In the back of my memories

My sanity is mocking me

I hear it laughing so loud

Says I told you so. No man

No man ever, is to be trusted

Why you gave up so soon, o love,

Once I said I loved you?

How I love you and how it hurts

Did it hurt you, even a bit?-I hope not-

All my life I belied fairy tales

Till you came along

And what choices did I have?

And what am I left with?

A picture, a message and a dying hope

Was it easy to deny?

To let go of every feeling we shared?

I don’t blame you … why would I?

Everyone else ran away

As soon as I let them in

Why should you be any different?

Did they-too-leave for my own good?

I now believe �"more than ever

Not all of us are That lucky

To love and be loved in return

I should accept my tragedy, now

Make of it some shameless art

May you forgive my words if they sound down-to-earth

I accept it, I understand you had to

Give up on me so soon.

But, since I said I do �"it is what you want to hear-

Will it bring you back to me?
