when we two parted

• george gordon byron^* siiri
  
  when we two parted
  in silence and tears,
  half broken-hearted
  to sever for years,
  pale grew thy cheek and cold,
  colder thy kiss;
  truly that hour foretold
  sorrow to this.
  
  the dew of the morning
  sunk chill on my brow—
  it felt like the warning
  of what i feel now.
  thy vows are all broken,
  and light is thy fame:
  i hear thy name spoken,
  and share in its shame.
  
  they name thee before me,
  a knell to mine ear;
  a shudder comes o'er me—
  why wert thou so dear?
  they know not i knew thee,
  who knew thee too well:
  long, long shall i rue thee,
  too deeply to tell.
  
  in secret we met—
  in silence i grieve,
  that thy heart could forget,
  thy spirit deceive.
  if i should meet thee
  after long years,
  how should i greet thee?
  with silence and tears.

  and into the night we go
  if it starts to hurt you
  then you have to say so
  
  (bkz: the afghan whigs)
• başlığını lord byron'ın aynı isimli şiirinden alan bu dehşet parça, efsane the afghan whigs albümu gentlemen'ın hastalıklı greg dulli ilişkilerine adadığı parçalardan belki de en vurucusudur.
  
  sözleri yabıştırayım da greg dulli dehasını irdeleyelim biraz;
  
  baby, i see you've made yourself all sick again
  didn't i do a good job of pretending?
  you're saying that the victim doesn't want it to end
  good. i get to dress up and play the assassin again
  it's my favorite
  it's got personality
  i should have seen this shit coming down the hall
  every night i spent in that bed with you facing the wall
  if i could have only once heard you scream
  to feel you were alive
  instead of watching you abandoning yourself
  baby you can open your eyes now
  and please allow me to present you with a clue
  if i inflict the pain
  then baby only i can comfort you
  out of the night we come
  and into the night we go
  if it starts to hurt you
  then you have to say so
  
  byron şiiri çok yavan kaldı şimdi değil mi?
