Splitting The Atom

You have an actor's face
that you can twist
in many different shapes
and half of what you say
I know is just
a masquerade.
I know it's just
a masquerade.

Last night, you said,
"It's time for leaving"
and then you spread
all our belongings
out upon the table
like a map of where we've been,
a souvenir or two
of what used to be you and me,
a souvenir or two
of what used to be you and me.

Splitting the atom,
breaking up our love...
