why didn’t you love me?
you had every chance
they kept playing our songs

you can puff out your chest
claim to have won first prize
have you ever had a cup of tea –
that tasted just too sweet?

when i was crying
when i thought i was dying

you find the detail
you understand the nature –
of words said

i tell myself,
that i know, i know you love me
but we never seem to share
i am capsized
but the weight of my own care
