Did you count the times you left me
weeping and sobbing into the cussions,
grabing your arms in order to hold on
to what seemed impossible to keep,
while my body ached and you could hear
the bones cracking, eyes closing,
silence falling.
Did you count the times you left me
helplessly calling your name,
asking you to turn back and hold on
to what seemed impossible to keep,
while your body walked straight out of the room,
feet clicking, doors closing,
silence falling.
Did you count the times you left me
speechless, stuck inbetween thoughts and reality,
I stared at you in order to hold on
to what seemed impossible to keep,
my eyes burning in agony of losing
what was never really mine;
tell me, did you count the times
you left me
bluntly and silent,
you left me
broken and helpless,
you left me
filled with love and sadness
and full of empty hopes.
You left me and I could hear the silence fall upon my ribs,
so unbearably loud
it made me breathe heavily;
so tell me,
did you count the times
you left;
for I have counted all the times
you came back.
