Song of three

I
What is it that you want
when my words are not enough.
What is it that you say
when maybe my actions are too rough.
What is it that you see
when I sit beside you, feeling blue.
What is it that you feel
when I tell you that I love you.

II
In silence you’ve shared
my heart, my life, my love,
all of my words and
all of my fears:
did you ever read
between the lines.
I turned the page,
you turned your head.

III
I try to picture you
in your world of darkness
– it even has a gate
without love (maybe a little)
without hate (maybe a little)
I believe there is
nothing broken
that cannot be mend.
I love you for who you are,
you even called yourself my friend.
Take a look at me:
I am hurt, I am tired
after all this time, I’m stuck.
No more words left to say,
speechless, I trusted my luck.
What can I do, help me
to understand your way.
If not for love,
for trust and friendship
let me stay,
I am asking you
don’t make me go away.
