At Least We'Ve Learned Something Poem by Véronique Boulanger

You come back home
No smile on your face
Tears of joy and regret
So tired of your race

A kiss, maybe
Or a slap on the face
You've been away
For more than a few days

You say your sorry
I say it's too late
Can't believe anymore
I've lost my fate

The lesson in the story
I just told you
is that, even now
When you think nothing's clear,

The truth we can't see
'Cause we're blinded by tears
Justly keeps us
From more fear
