You don't owe me anything

I can't hear you very well,
so long ago.
Whence you calling me ? Whence comes
this so urgent need
to suddenly listen to me?
Do pigs fly?
 
Has you missed my voice
after almost a year?
It would be a beautiful day,
and there aren't so many.
I know how to be satisfied
with little things now.
We bury what dies,
we keep the good times.
I was sometimes afraid
You really forget me.
You have on my mood
still annoying effects.
 
But you don't owe me anything.
I had a terrible time
to get used to this idea,
to finally accept it.
Would you at least be grateful to me?
Everyone goes its own way
with what one gave him,
but you owe me nothing.
 
You didn't bother me,
I live alone for now.
But I'm in no hurry,
you know, I take the time.
Everything is so complicated,
everything seems so different to me.
 
One can't rebuild its life
It's just continuity.
We sleep less well at night
We listen patiently
from the house, the noises,
from outside, the collapse.
 
I'm fine that said.
Call me more often,
if you want,
if you have a moment.
But there's nothing written
and you aren't forced to do then ...
 

A peaceful breakfast

I drop the newspaper
on a chair.
Things are bad
all over1.
 
I wait for her to wake up
and get out of bed at last.
I blow on the embers
to rekindle the fire.
 
This time
I won't tell her about
the latest mass slaughter,
I'll keep my thoughts
about the world to myself.
She told me that she'd like,
if that's ok with me,
to enjoy a peaceful breakfast.
 
I step to the window.
Today the morning sky
is neither rosy nor truthful.
But still,
is everything so bad?
is there nothing going well?
'man is an animal'
she says.
 
She laughs as she
drinks her coffee,
hardly looking at me.
Nothing about human nature
surprises her anymore.
That's why she'd like,
at least if I'm ok with that,
to enjoy a peaceful breakfast.
 
Yeah, a peaceful breakfast
Oh, a peaceful breakfast.
 
I look at the newspaper
on the chair.
Things are bad
all around.
'Do you think it will snow?'
she asks suddenly.
'Won't you give me a child for Christmas?'
 
She laughs as she
drinks her coffee,
hardly looking at me.
Nothing about human nature
surprises her anymore.
That's why she'd like,
at least if I'm ok with that,
to enjoy a peaceful breakfast.
 
Yeah, a peaceful breakfast
Oh, a peaceful breakfast.
 
Yeah, a peaceful breakfast
in peace, in peace...
 
At last, a peaceful breakfast
a peaceful breakfast
 
At last, a peaceful breakfast
