Listen
Weeping

I had nothing left
For all I was departed
So I learned to live

Never forgetting
There is now only chaos
Where you once found peace

Held a rose tightly
Waiting for her arrival
She never emerged

She opened a door
Which was always to be locked
And now it won’t close

Your lipstick remained
Long after your departure
Still kissing my lips

Tonight remember
All those first kisses we thought
Would be our last ones
