I hear the door-bell ring
and suddenly
the panic takes me
the sound so
ominously tearing
through the silence
l cannot move
I'm standing
numb and frozen
among the things
I love so dearly
the books, the paintings
and the furniture
help me
The signal's sounding
once again and
someone tries the door-knob
none of my friends
would be so stupidly
impatient
and they don't dare
to come here
any more now
but how I loved our
secret meetings
we talked and talked
in quiet voices
smiling
Now I hear them moving
muffled noises coming
through the door
I feel I'm
crackin' up
voices growing louder
irritation building
and I'm close to fainting
crackin' up
they must know by now
I'm in here trembling
in a terror evergrowing
crackin' up
my whole world is falling
going crazy
there is no escaping now
I'm
crackin' up
These walls have
witnessed all the
anguish of humiliatio
