not sure if this is any good but thought I'd see what everyone thinks:
I gave u everything u asked for,
u gave me only what I'd need,
I gave u everything I had,
u took everything from me.
I wiped away your tears,
u laughed when I cried mine,
I was there for u constantly,
u gave me little time.
I gave u my heart,
u took it without a thought,
I protected u from hurt,
In return my hurt u caused.
I walked a lonely path,
When I was door your side,
u punished me for being,
My pain I could not hide.
u pushed me away,
After taken what u could,
My hart-, hart now hardened forever,
No longer beating as it should.

the violin-throbs
of autumn wound
my hart-, hart with languorous
and montonous
sound.
Choking and pale
When I mind the tale
the hours keep,
my memory strays
down other days
and I weep;
and I let me go
where ill winds blow
now here, now there,
harried and sped,
even as a dead
leaf, anywhere.

CHANSON D'AUTOMNE
Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l'automne
Blessent mon cœur
D'une langueur
Monotone.
Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
Sonne l'heure.
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens,
Et je pleure.
Et je m'en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m'emporte
De çà, de là,
Pareil à la
Feuille morte.
