I Depart Tonight

I swallowed

Your decision

I’m leaving

The mansion

I accepted

The defeat

And I acquitted

All debts

I loved you too much, darling

Oh! You forgot everything.

 

The surprises

Of life

Are not sweet cherries

I’m leaving my heart

For peace

This is a required part

I depart

Tonight.
