The Cake Untouched

She was walking slow

And her face said she was a little low

For once I thought she was in pain

The feelings came rushing back, like the November rain

I moved towards the lift as usual

She followed me to the corridor, I acted casual

I kept the door open, helped her let in

She looked so gorgeous you should have seen.

She headed for 3, I was for 5

Intensity taking over the cold vive

The lift came buzzing, she was about to leave

Not for once did I try to convince

It was her birthday that night

Everyone was buzzing, the candles glowing bright

She came down dressed as an angel

It was my last day in town, her birthday and my farewell

She went near the cake bending down to blow the candles

She looked into my eyes and I remembered how we climbed all the hurdles

She put the knife through the cake with a drop of tear in her eye

I hustled out of the room before I started to cry

She waived around smiling happily

But I could see her eyes filled with tears

She came near me and the moment never went by

I kissed her on the cheek and said it was the last goodbye

That was the story of the cake untouched

I still remember those moments when my heart crushed

It was the most bitter cake I had ever seen

I just look back and wish life wasn't so mean...
