I Made My Excuses And Left

I walked into the room

Imagine my surprise

You were sitting close to him

Staring in each other's eyes

Each of you looked up

But no one said a word

I felt I should apologise

For what I hadn't heard

A silence filled the room

Awkward as an elephant

In the crowded court of your love

I was now a supplicant

And clumsy as I felt

At stumbling on this theft

To save further embarrassment

I made my excuses and left

So long ago

I felt like such a fool

For crying

All that I know

Is when you feel inside

You're dying

It all begins again

Defying

Your excuses
