AFTER IT’S ALL BEEN SAID
amrslamr

You used to write me love songs
And poems I can’t forget,
But now you just sit silently
And smoke your cigarette.

“I’ll love you always, till I die,
Until the sun goes out.”
You used to breathe those words to me
Then sweetly kiss my mouth.

But now we sit here, you and I,
With not a thing to say.
Are we the same two people who
Wrote letters every day?

Are we the same two people who
Talked hours on the phone?
And now we’re just across the room
But both of us alone?

“ Don’t you want to talk to me?”
"Has everything been said?"
You look up for a minute from
Your book, and shake your head

I turn away and think about
The way we used to be:
I couldn’t get enough of you
Or give enough of me .

You were so wild and passionate.
You always wanted me.
Until our passion faded to
Familiarity.

You used to write me love songs
And poems I can’t forget
But now you just sit silently
And smoke your cigarette .
