Tu ne connais pas Verlaine

The long sobs
Of violins
In autumn
Lull my heart
With a languor
So monotonous

You don't care
You just play
With my pain
But you don't know Verlaine

All suffocating
And pale when
The hour strikes
I remember
The days gone by
And I cry

And you just laugh
A sad smile
And you curse
But you don't understand Verlaine

And I walk away
Into the bad wind
That carries me
Here and there
Like a
Dead leaf

Another guy
Holds out his arms
And you love him
But you don't know Verlaine

Verlaine
