She now sings the same song to her new lover
“she now sings the same song to her new lover” - Charles Bukowski
She now sings the same song to her new lover
That she sang to me
Even though he was also her lover before me
And back then she sang a different song
In a different key
Without that expression on her face
She has now
As the rain outside their window falls
All around my whispered name.
