Why did you run away ?

Why did you run away from me?

Without a clue … a sign

Yeah, it is true that I hold an empty account

And, that I do not drive a car

Is that the reason why?

Gaze into my eyes

And, you’ll see the light

Of love

Just the way every inch of my skin

Has felt your caress

that ran down through your fingers 

I am sitting here feeling numb

Not knowing what to do

With an empty glass of sorrows

And, a room full of darkness

how do I say, without tears
that it hurts?

(Why did you run away from me?

Without a clue … a sign)
