You said you would stay
never leave.
You made a promise
a plea
to me …
‘Don’t ever go.
Stay.
Play that song.
Sing loud.
Make me proud.’
The words won’t come
the chords are stuck.
There’s nowhere to go
nowhere to run.
The sun has gone down
the moon won’t rise.
The night never ends
where are your eyes.
So, don’t tell me to sing
or play that tune.
I’ve called a halt to life
I just want to hide.
Because
you lied.
