Parting How Easy Those Words Spilled From You Automatic Deceit

Parting How easy those words spilled from you Automatic deceit Delivered with calculated precision What it must have taken, to rehearse those lines I congratulate you on your dedication I applaud you for your time How empty you seemed As your eyes met mine Your lips moved in synch My heart beating like a chime I noted the flush of your cheeks as you tried to care I felt like ice As you sat motionless in your chair I could sense your relief When I told you I understood Guess you couldn’t believe How a bad thing could turn out so good I didn’t recognise you As I glanced back at your face It was as if you’d disappeared Without a trace My heart trembled as I left the room A single tear Fell From Me To You By Siobhan O’Sullivan
