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...
