Blink of an Eye

Paris and alone
In the city of love
My heart give a groan
Like the sound of a wounded dove


I sit in a pavement café
Love all around me
And I am alone and, in the way,
Wishing my pain to go, to be free


How did this come about?
We arrived full of hope
Why did we fall out?
And my life is now on a slippery slope


I must flee this city of joy
Find a place to reflect and cry
To see what it was I destroyed
In that blink of an eye.
