Insensatez

How insensitive I must have seemed

When he told me that he loved me

How unmoved and cold I must have seemed

When he told me so sincerely

Why, he must have asked, did I just

Turn and stare in icy silence?

What was I to say? What can you say

When a love affair is over?

Now he's gone away, but I'm alone

With the memory of his last look

Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still

All his heartbreak in that last look

Why, he must have asked, did I just

Turn and stare in icy silence?

What was I to do? What can one do?

When a love affair is over
