La Cassement [with English translation]

attends-moi là-bas
je n'irais plus jamais
ça fait trop longtemps
que je t'attendais

ouvres la porte
je ne serai plus là
je n'ai pas disparue
j’en ai juste marre

tu m'as dit que la poésie
venait de ma bouche
et que j'avais du venir des astres
qu'est-ce qui s'est passé entre nous?

tu t'es fait à m'attendre ici
mais je ne reviendrai plus
ouvres la porte, je ne serai plus y
tu pleur mais je m'en fous

await me there
i will never go there again
it’s been too long
that i’ve waited for you

open the door
i will not be there
i’ve not disappeared
i’ve just had enough

you told me that poetry
came from my mouth
that I must’ve come from the stars
what happened between us?

you’ve become accustomed to waiting for me here
but I will not return
open the door, I will be gone
you’ll cry but I don’t give a damn.

Tres bien!

I enjoy it when poets use other languages in their writing. The world is so much bigger than just English! And I'm feeling how you tie this together at the end. Reminds me of "Gone with the Wind."

I've never seen nor read

I've never seen nor read Gone With The Wind, but that's cool it reminds you of that! I actually wrote this a couple days before a boy broke up with me... which I didn't know was going to happen. It's kind of weird.

La Cassement

sounds very good in both languages i enjoyed the 3rd line a lot very good.
