Paul Sonnenberg: "How Insensitive"

how insensitive
i must have seemed
when she told me that she loved me
how unmoved and cold
i must have seemed
when she told me so sincerely

why she must have asked
did i just turn and stare in icy silence
what was i to say
what can you say
when a love affair is over

now she's gone away
and i'm alone
with a memory of her last look
vague and drawn and sad
i see it still
all her heartbreak in that last look
how she must have asked
could i just turn and stare in icy silence
what was i to do
what can you do
when a love affair is over
