Pantomime

I can’t feel your love anymore

Your smiles are empty and cool

You never turned your face away before

Do you take me as some kind of fool?

 

We used to sit and watch the sky at night

Wrapped together in old woollen throws

your hair shimmering silver in the moonlight

But now, nothing remains but the shadows

 

We used to be so close, needing one another

But now you always have somewhere else to be

A friend in need, sometimes family, or another lover?

It’s seems anywhere is better than being with me

 

I can’t stand the silences and I don’t need the pain

I can’t stand to see you avoiding me again

If you are so unhappy, then I guess it’s time

That we stop acting and end this pantomime

 

So the curtain closes, the lights suddenly flare

The pages of the script, faded and now bare

A relationship collapses, the actors take a bow

Our pantomime is over, the stage is empty now
