Can you hear me now?

Can you hear me now?
As I mouth the words, you yearned to hear...
Can you hear me now?
As the glass cut my heart, and you shed no tear.

Can you hear me now?

Long calls, longer talks, words flowed all day long.
Life was a melody, you and me were the song;
The universe was in your arms, my world, You and I—
Till death do us part, only to love till we die

The christened vows, the house we set,
Your friends my friends, loved them all who I met
Satin nights, sunshine days, Time in a golden daze
Life was a bliss, till she turned a hard gaze

It started with a note, a text, a hidden smile,
You disbelieved at first, then doubts flowed awhile.
The time away grew longer, we missed out on talks.
You doubted my every word, but silent, your eyes were hawks.

Then you confronted, accused, screamed, ranted and raved
I tried to pacify, I thought you'd see sense, but you were crazed.
You just wouldn't listen, each word tore me asunder
Outside the clouds were black, torrential rain, and thunder.

I left to get proof- your surprise birthday party was the plan.
Video clips and pics from family and friends, memories in a can.
Why did doubt rear its ugly head? My love was no fake.
You thought I had betrayed and Lust was the Snake.

It could never happen to us, our love was so strong
But, watching your twisted face I knew I was wrong
Wanted to grow old with you, dreamed the dream from so afar
Blinded by my tears and rain, I didn't see the car...

Can you hear me now?
As I said I love you, my body lay crushed, veins ribbon frayed,
Can you hear me now? I know that you don't.
Its been 50 years, but beside you I have stayed.
