I studied your face,
by plain, white light.
I breathed on the pane of glass.
I breathed anger and carved my name with my nail.
As I picked up the phone and stared at your eyes,
Is it you or me who committed this crime?
The phone keeps on crackling as I promise I'm fine.
'Please forgive me for all that I've done.'
I watch the splash on the table,
as your tears drip from your cheeks.
You look as if it's me you are sorry.
I prayed for you, last night and the night before.
I felt very stupid and very alone.
You shout and scream as it's the end of our time,
They drag you away, are you no longer mine?
'Please forgive me for all that I've done.'
It's summer now,
you come less and less each day.
The woman below me gave me a razor.
I didn't know what to think as I was dragged to lock-down.
The silence frightened me.
Are you anywhere near me? You used to wipe away my cares.
Death brings a better fate than these flat prayers.
'Please forgive me for all that I've done.'
