  • Dim the lights and draw the curtains
    This is the end of love
    Ready all your arguments
    This is the end of trust
    Send out all the witnesses
    Let nobody watch
    Let there be no more words spilled at the ending of what
    Was it time we had?

    Bring me all the evidence
    The baskets of wild roses
    The crumpled petals and misshapen heads of reeds and rushes
    The bodies of the common birds, robins, crows, and thrushes
    Everything that I have loved
    And all the light touches
    While we still have time

    I watch your eyes pass over me
    Holding stupidly, everything I wanted you to see
    In the throes of this divorce, in this court proceedings
    For some reason my mind was filled with all my softest feelings
    All the hidden wounded gentle places of my body
    I wanted to bear my skin to the grass
    In generosity, while we still have time

    When everybody's talking
    And I know it's important
    And I should pay attention
    And I know it's important
    And I

    Dim the lights and draw the curtains
    This is the end of love
    Ready all your arguments
    This is the end of trust
    Send out all the witnesses
    Let nobody watch
    Let there be no more words spilled at the ending of what Writer/s: Tamara Lindeman
