Sorrow

Tonight my sorrow,

Is only for you.

Not for the sky,

Who weeps soundly

On the shoulders of earth.

Not for the wind,

Who moans like a hunted beast

In the rain.

My sorrow is only for you.

I walk in the streets in the very shoes

I was wearing when I left you.

And spit myself

On the diary

I have left on my desk.

I smoke you

And leave your eyes

In every pedestrian’s face.

Tonight my sorrow

Is only for you.

The streets are only excuses.

This is you I am walking into.

I stop to tie

The lace of the same shoes

I was wearing when I left you

With the same gentle hands

You loved to stroke.

My sorrow is only for you

And I try to swallow your sin in vain.

I am choked with tears

Like a man bearing the pain.

Now I have got Adam’s apple too.
