i didnt throw away the candles that i burned for you
everynight past midnight
when you left me all alone.
i didnt take down the shrine that made me feel you
everynight when i was going to bed
when you werent next to me.
i didnt give your pillow away to a stranger on the street
everynight you were gone
from my arms , your home, your bed.
i didnt stop loving you when you walked away from me
every night for moths and years
i could have let you go.
i didnt break the vows of love you'd recite
every night before you'd sleep
within my loving arms.
i didnt fail you in any way that you'd tell me
everynight before our lives
were broken and torn apart.
i didnt leave you
everynight for someone else
and someone elses bed.
ditto.
