I didn't see it coming !

I sulked in the glory of my stupidity
As the sun made a quick retreat to the West

I let madness fill the void inside my head
And only saw pink buffaloes and limbless toads

Now I remember she rarely noticed
when I talked about the fire in the sky

She was married to silence
when I detailed my dreams, my desires

I took her hands in mine
All she did was let me

The blueness I saw in her shallow eyes
was numbness, not reflection of the skies

I saw her singing lullabies
only in dreams she sent in my sleep

All the light I saw, warmth I felt
Were in fact shadows of indifference

Still I never saw it coming
blinded by the darkness of my convictions
