I WALKED INTO THE ROOM/ IMAGINE MY SURPRISE/
YOU WERE SITTING CLOSE TO HIM/ STARING IN EACH
OTHER'S EYES
EACH OF YOU LOOKED UP/ BUT NO ONE SAID A
WORDI FELT I SHOULD APOLOGISE/ FOR WHAT I
HADN'T HEARD
A SILENCE FILLED THE ROOM/ AWKWARD AS AN
ELEPHANT/ IN THE CROWDED COURT OF YOUR LOVE
/ I WAS NOW A SUPPLICANT
AND CLUMSY AS I FELT/ AT STUMBLING ON THIS
THEFT/ TO SAVE FURTHER EMBARRASSMENT/ I MADE
MY EXCISES AND LEFT
SO LONG AGO/ I FELT LIKE SUCH A FOOL/ FOR
CRYIING/ ALL THAT I KNOW/ IS WHEN YOU FEEL INSIDE
/YOU'RE DYING/ IT ALL BEGINS AGAIN/ DEFYING/
YOUR EXCUSES
