WHY?
when did i invite you
to take the last of it
that hope that kept things burning
there are no more angels for these weary brown eyes
perhaps there never were
and you were the lesson to end it all
that foolish ways must stop
the ring would never turn
the heart is mine and mine alone
bound by fear and anger
and shown on a lonely hand
bearing the symbol of our ancestors
the loving heart melted
and fell through the cracks
into mother earth
and to a quiet surrender
leaving only unanswered questions
in this the deep of night
when did i invite you
to break my heart
Goodbye to the Heart
is there a synopsis to this pain
that has repeated again
dark and challenging
a wind of change for the worse
thank you, sinner against the love borne
thief of hearts
and man with the perfect words
when you stole the last gift
did you think or care
did your words hold any meaning
or are you as shallow as the air in this hell?
is love so viscous a thing
that it flows from your lips and from you
in a moment
and passes into the night, to be gone in the morning
seeking the accommodating and free of heart
to fall into your heartbreaking trap
so goodbye, once fair lover
that's the conclusion
that you're out of the heart because it's long gone.
