How Insensitive

How insensitive . . . I must have seemed

when she told me that she loved me . . .

how unmoved an' cold . . . I must have seemed

when she told me so sincerely . . .

Why . . . she must have asked

do I just turn an' stare in icy silence?

What was I to say . . .

what can you say when a love affair is over?

Now, she's gone away

and I'm alone with a memory of her last look . . .

vague an' drawn an' sad . . . I see it still

all her heartbreak in that last look . . .

How . . . she must have asked

could I just turn an' stare in icy silence?

What was I to do . . .

what can one do when a love affair is over?

What can you do

when a love affair is over?

It's over . . .
