MANY THINGS BREAK MY HEART IN TWO

 

Many things break my heart in two

But the hardest thing to see

Is you softly speaking words of love

To a man who isn’t me

THERE IS BEAUTY IN THE WORLD

 

There is beauty in the world

Not the fake painted on kind

True beauty doesn’t wear

The artificial gloss of glamour

Or the mask of vanity

True natural beauty

Is hidden in a maiden fair

Who lives blissfully unaware

Of her great gift

Because the greatest beauty of all

Resides within

I HAD HIGH HOPES OF YOU

I had high hopes of you

But you let me down

You turned out to be inconsistent

Shifting like the desert dunes

And I can see clearly that you’re

Undependable and feckless

With feet of clay

I wasted too much time

Trying to get you to commit

I can only liken it

Too trying to nail jelly to a tree.

IN EVERY CORNER OF MY MIND

 

In every corner of my mind

An endless moment lives

Burnt into my memory

Glowing like an ember

That won’t die

Tormenting and taunting

A loop of reminiscence

Constantly reminding me

Of the fateful moment

That I let you go

GRIEF HITS LIKE AN IRON FIST

 

Grief hits like an iron fist

Cloaked in a velvet glove

But grief is the ultimate price

We all have to pay for love

THE WORLD IS A COLD AND EMPTY PLACE

 

The world is a cold and empty place

Devoid of beauty

When you fall out of love

Colder and emptier still

When someone else

Falls out of love with you

FALLING IN LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING

 

Falling in love

Is a beautiful thing

And love does make

The world go round

Being in love

Is a beautiful thing

As long as the world

Keeps turning

Fall out of love

And the world stops

With no beauty in it
