Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
Or is it another person
with more charm and money?
It happened
this way —
after months of joy and laughter
you no longer answer my calls
Panic has sat in
I’m sitting wondering what happened
that could have been prevented
or maybe it could not be prevented
With tear drops falling on the floor
I turn on a recording
and listen to Ray Charles sing
“It’s crying time again
you’re going to leave me”
I listen to it over and over and over
and someway I have to find away
to fall asleep
