"Because you left me for that stranger in the mall."

That gloomy morning

When the stars still align my view

Had I understood of reality.

Yes, I sneaked under your conscience

When you wandered in that bar

I could not imagine the thud against your voice

Which was powerless against the blitz.

How you apologized so quickly

When my words were fire to your ears

You called for the nth time

Just when I pulled my pillow.

I could not be any agreeable to my vindication

That the water in your hands gave in to my rage.

And seeing you left me for that stranger in that mall

I was contained as were the stars drenched in my blanket.

That morning never did any better

Than to wake up to the reality

That I have once lost you to my dreams.
