The sinking ship

Michèle Haller

by Michèle Haller

Story

I feel that you turned cold

All your heat went out

There is no passion left

I feel this hatred instead

Many questions unasked

But your glance says it all

We’ve been perfectly happy

But that’s a long time ago

You are not the same

And I feel left alone


I know it’s going to be the end

But please let us pretend

I stay on this sinking ship

Reaching for your fingertips

Our long trip is over now

We lost the way somehow


Maybe I should’ve known

You gave me many signs

But love is dumb and blind

And reality hurts too much

Everything has changed

But we can’t go back

You live your own life now

I try to handle my mess

You won’t come back to me

Even though it is my wish


I know it’s going to be the end

But please let us pretend

I stay on this sinking ship

Reaching for your fingertips

Our long trip is over now

We lost the way somehow


I’m waving, I need help

I’m screaming, it’s too late
