we sit side by side saying nothing
everything else seems far away, distant
you scatter my thoughts with your eyes
must you leave, stay, a little longer

i can't she says, and starts to leave
words will not stop her, she pauses, her eyes wet
in that moment she knows his heart will break
she closes her eyes, she gave him everything

and now she takes it all away
yet it is better to have had this
than live and never know the
beauty and darkness of love
