Not a Love Letter
Black Saturday 1983 (Babatngon)
I thought it was a love letter
I hoped it was a poem but
You left a note with a subtle sting on it
I laugh with everyone around
I weep in silence when I'm alone
Mourning in the middle of the night
I called your name
You didn't see my pain
You were with another
You met me in my dreams
Only to say goodbye
Only to say goodbye
And I shattered into pieces
And I won't pick up the shards
Of my broken heart ever again...
