An Education

I look at them and you, you look at me

you say we can have that too,

that we can do it

if I want to, if I dare to.

They kiss and I smile, out of pity

wink at you and give you something

you've never been given before:

the look that says 'I'm stuck with you'.

Thank you for the cheap laughs, 

thank you for the charade.

It was lovely to see you faking it so well.

Such talent never before seen,

the audience, surprised, claps but does not think

that all that lying comes from somewhere

that behind every bit of inspiration

there's a broken heart nobody cares about.

And I want to thank you for giving me that part.

You've made things so dull, so black and white,

you've ruined my life.

Mademoiselle Juliettè,

Todo lo que hoy es mañana morirá.
