It’s Over
Not now but when I
ask you,
I hear myself reply
I know what you’ve
been thinking,
Not expecting this
good bye
Not now but when
I ask you
For the keys to the
front door
Your presence here is
irksome
You’re not needed
anymore
Not now but when I
ask you
The answer to my plea
Do you, have you ever
loved me?
The reply is plain to
see in your eyes and your face.
Not now but when I
ask you
Rapt out in anger
sharp
You could not, would
not see my pain
Or reach out to me
with your heart in the dark.
Not now but when I
ask you
Why, why, why, why,
why, why
Did you propose, and
I agree
And rend our lives
and peace did flee
Not now but when I
ask you
The fumy smoke and
ash
The rosѐ wine, and
whiskey vodkas
I took them all and
turned happiness to trash and oddness
Not now but when I
ask you
So why did you have
to ring?
It’s over, gone,
speak my name no more
Our time together
bound by a ring
Is no more a precious
thing
But out of sight and
time and place
Not now
Not ever
Nevermore.
