And when there’s nothing left
And everything you used to have
Is filling up the trash
And when you find yourself silent
Along comes all the grey
The sadness in our history
Will finally go away
And now I’m thinking of her again
Even though it left me with a stain
A stain from all those tears
From waiting on your name
To flash up on my phone again
And make me feel more normal
For I spent a whole year pining
And now it feels like a new ordeal
And now it’s all lay out
In front of me on the floor
The memories all such pain felt
All piled high against the wall
The flooding of all these moments
Fill the rooms with thoughts
The windows they won’t open
And the house is getting heavy
It’s such weight on my heart strings
And such sorrow in my voice
As I watch it all fall away
In this huge pile at the tip
The wind will return soon
And it will blow a gale
The little bits of paper will all take off and spiral
Within it the ink has written shapes that wrote letters about our love
All wrapped up tightly as it falls through the night
And it will finally lose speed and fall to the ground falling to that street where it will never be found
And one grey Monday night there it is by this hedge
And one person will walk past it
And the words that were written will never be read
