I was a little girl

Chasing after men

Who promised me beautiful things

And left

Keeping my heart like a souvenir

Dangling from his keys

Infidelity is easy to put away

It slides under cupboards

Behind a smile

Better if it is handsome

I tried to draw your face

Find its outlines

But finally I gave up

An invisible man

Demands to be left unknown

So I took the plane

Knowing he died inside

And told myself he never loved me at all
