Never Tell The Widow

I'm well aware that I should know you

and yet I feel it's not the case

It feels like talking to a stranger

I hardly recognize your voice

We live a life we never wanted

Hard to believe but it came true

We never thought that this could happen to us

Not to you and not to me

And nothing seems to make it any better

We live in memories. That's all

The dream we had is long forgotten

We walk away and don't look back

And though we shiver when we sleep at night

We have no way of finding back

Have we done all that we could have

to avoid where we are now?

Or have we known what we have done to us

and watched the dying process grow?

I really never dared to doubt you

Neither you nor your words

It is so hard to let you go now

but still I bid farewell to you

And instinct tells us that we're wrong

and still our feet keep stumbling on
