Madeline,
please listen.
Are you coming out
or can I come in?
Oh, Madeline.
Please say anything.
Once again,
I’ve messed up everything
and everytime
we talk things out.
Oh, Madeline.
I’ll be waiting here
if I have to sleep by the door.
What do you want me to say
as if there’s anything more?
Madeline,
please open the door
even if to say
we’re not anymore,
my dear.
“I’m too tired to fight.”
That’s what you always say.
What are my words even worth
(if) silence is gold anyway?
Anyway, Madeline,
I’ve said enough --
you win.
