The first night You talked to me of sorrow How he whispered to you And how you drank every word You told me it felt good And that I shouldn't worry But I did You laughed at me; you told me it was nothing The second night You talked to me of pain How he lingered on your skin How you longed to let it happen again... and again I saw the hurt in your eyes But you were smiling You told me I worry too much And worry, I should not The third night You talked to me of death How inviting he was to you How you talked to him every night I asked you "What do you talk about?" You answered me with a laugh You told me it wasn't any of my business The fourth night I was alone You had gone with all three: Sorrow, pain, and death I didn't know where you had gone You cut our communication No one knew Where were you? The fifth night You were asleep You looked so peaceful Before they brought you down Now it is I who talks I talk of sorrow I talk of pain I talk of death But not in the same way that you did

The First Night
The first night You talked to me of sorrow How he whispered to you And how you drank every word You told me it felt good And that I shouldn't worry But I did You laughed at me; you told me it was nothing The second night You talked to me of pain How he lingered on your skin How you longed to let it happen again... and again I saw the hurt in your eyes But you were smiling You told me I worry too much And worry, I should not The third night You talked to me of death How inviting he was to you How you talked to him every night I asked you "What do you talk about?" You answered me with a laugh You told me it wasn't any of my business The fourth night I was alone You had gone with all three: Sorrow, pain, and death I didn't know where you had gone You cut our communication No one knew Where were you? The fifth night You were asleep You looked so peaceful Before they brought you down Now it is I who talks I talk of sorrow I talk of pain I talk of death But not in the same way that you did
