If you ever wonder why you lost me  
All you have to do is remember  
The countless words I spilled for you  
Swept aside like autumn leaves  
Blown away like apple blossoms  
Discarded like old newspapers  
Every word a drop of blood  
A ray of sunlight  
A breath of sea spray  
Ignored  
Unwanted  
Every word, a piece of me  
Relinquished wisdom  
Burned in the bonfire  
Of your bitter life
