Arsiema Berhane - I’m a Wreck

I never said a thing—
about anything, not a single thing
about anything
and especially about my life.
i just lead a peaceful, quiet life.

One day—
i heard a knock on the door
and saw a face I never saw before.
That was when—
i got cheerful,
i got joyful
and came to realize
life could be so beautiful.
But now—
that you’ve left me, I'm all alone
waiting for you to knock
and give back the happiness
you took the day you walked a way.

Since that day
life is not the same for me.

Sometimes,
i wish I’d never met you
but then I remember
the good times we had together.
but still — I wish I’d never met you
for my life is not the same.
it is not even like it was
before I met you.

Now — I'm lonely, miserable, angry—
those were feelings I never knew.
now I'm nothing,
that’s right, I'm nothing,
but a wreck,
because of you.
