Comme Te Veaux

I'll never hear from you again I fear.
You went back to him I hear.

I know there was something.
I explained how I felt.
But the words were
almost
worthless.
You know how I felt because
it was always
comme te veaux
(As you wish)

I didn't say it.
words are almost
worthless.
I just did.

You didn't say it.
Words are almost
worthless.

You spoke to me.
With those not so covert glances
in the darkness
watching movies
not alone.

You spoke to me
With those hungry eyes
in the daytime
when we were
not alone.

You spoke to me
With the way you kept asking me
for help with things
you didn't need help with.
when we were
alone.

I didn't say it.
words are almost
worthless.
I just did.
Comme te veaux

You spoke to me
when you said
you'd never cheat on him
when we were
alone.

You spoke to me
when you said
with your eyes
you might cheat on him
when we were
alone.

We didn't do it.
Because neither of us was sure
what to do.
when we were
alone.

And you haven't written me
I haven't written again because
I know
what to do
Comme te veaux

Je aime
Amy.
Je taim
Amy.
Comme te veaux.
