Your lover’s leaving
The world stops breathing
The faithful’s sin
Your sadness wins
Your lover’s leaving
You were just cheating
That faithless sin
Your obsessions win
Your lover’s leaving
And pain’s increasing
You try to drown it in
A big glass of gin
Your lover’s leaving
You can’t stop bleeding
You say it ain’t
Bad though you faint
Your lover’s leaving
There is no healing
To forget
That’s what you dread
Your lover’s leaving
You just can’t breathe in
Nor breathe out
You’ve died somehow
Your lover’s leaving
And all you see
Is in a haze
Except that face
Speaking Silences
