In the space of two hours the Earth rotated
The moon moved from one side of my window to the other
Yet I am still waiting for you to come to me.
If planets can still move,
If the sun still shines somewhere
If people love and if glass breaks
If she stares at me and realizes I am dying
If I still write and write and write until my mind is empty
If I hear people around me
If laughter is part of someone's routine
If you go out and feel the air around you
If you close your eyes and darkness surrounds you
If the world goes round and the day rises
If it rains and the tears melt on my face
If I can still stand up and walk away
Leaving my heart on the sidewalk
Where you punched me in the gut
Said
I'm sorry
Meant
I need you to never call me again
If I can walk away from the ****** scene
And not collapse
Or drown in my tears
Then perhaps I can still smile
And wave you goodbye
As you walk away.
