the tables have turned darling

no longer do i wait
anticipating your touch
no longer do i crave
that one smile
i used to think was
mine and only mine
the tables have turned darling

no longer do i act to please you
no longer am i your friend
and only yours
no longer do you get the best of both worlds
the tables have turned darling

but i still know you to your core
i still can anticipate your every move
only the empty void which wanted to be filled before
no longer lusts after you
the tables have turned darling


now i look from afar and observe you
with eyes that have neither warmth nor coldness
i see you go about your daily life
knowing you are starting to feel the void
the tables have turned darling

like a distant astronomer i observe you from afar
the anticipation is now to see you carry with equanimity
what was my burden for so long
the tables have turned darling
