What's left of it

i

she is singing to open up
she is drowning in the tears of her notes
she is smiling

ii

he didn't realise he was doing it
he's never been quite in control of his
tongue

iii

draining her glass
she finds it was dirty

iv

it is easier to say that they kissed
were kissing each other
against a wall
like teenagers

v

she finds it difficult now
he is smiling
she is singing to get rid of that damned emptiness he left
he is still leaving inside her
she is smiling
