I am here
You are not
The clock only ticks
In the silence of darkness
It does this, this year
Next year, every year
As if it also knows
That xxxxxxx is the cruelest month
Why did you choose it
For your birthday
What’s that you say
It wasn’t up to you
Rather it was your parents
Who were to blame
It was one of their peak experience moments
Which brought you to me
Yet here you are not
Neither they
No, it is only I for whom
The clock ticks, in the darkness
