Nothing: II
When I was young and just a little girl I saw
that you would turn away before you cried
I asked you what was wrong but you were gone
You told me that “It’s nothing”, but you lied
I saw that in your eyes you were not fine
My love, you look away when you are sad
Your love’s like drugs to me; your lips are wine
But lately it has spoiled; your love’s gone bad
I brought you to the rooftop’s edge and said
“Just go ahead. Your way to bliss is there.”
Upon your tippy toes you looked ahead
You shivered when you saw. Your face was scared.
A fall will bruise your knees, and nooses give
Afraid? My love, you might as well just live
