Do Not Talk to Me

If you couldn’t say
What I had to know
If you couldn’t do
What you wanted so
Don’t talk to me now
Don’t talk to me at all

I don’t recall your face
We are out of time and place
Caught in the lamp lit lane
My rainy shadow refuses to race

I lost track of the past
Of faded kisses and promises
Garden weeds had swallowed lust
And cobweb spread into the dust

But I myself had said
What I had in mind
I myself had begged you
And I wasn’t blind

I did all I could
Offered my body and soul
So don’t talk to me now
Don’t talk to me at all
