You said, you said, you said
Never again, never again
Don’t leave, don’t leave, don’t leave
Please, please, please
You said, you said, you said
Why, why, why
I tried, I tried, I tried
It’s over, it’s over

Who’s guilty?
You are
Did you lie?
Every time
What’s left?
Nothing
Still breathing?
Barely
Say it
Say it

You said, you said, you said — and the air remembered
Never again, never again — yet the vow kept breathing
Don’t leave, don’t leave, don’t leave — said the ghost in the glass
Please, please, please — the plea became its past
You said, you said, you said — until the words grew roots
Why, why, why — they flowered in silence
I tried, I tried, I tried — to drown the echo
It’s over, it’s over — but the end refused to die

Look at me through the windowpane mind
Where truth bends like light in mourning water
I held your name until it bruised my tongue
And sang to the wound as if it were holy
The silence answered in riddles of rain
The ceiling trembled before my death
I fade, I fade, I fade — like a prism forgotten
Inside a world of my own unmaking

Who’s guilty?
You are
Did you lie?
Every time
What’s left?
Nothing
Still breathing?
Barely
Say it
Say it

Drift through the ribs of what was divine
Breathe through the bruise — the mercy, the crime
If love is a knife, then I’ve learned to adore it
If loss is this good, then I’ll kneel and implore it
The storm inside me cries out your name
And silence burns all the same

Please Please Please
