Poetry Of Love
Poetry of Love
Love where were you
When I needed you
It’s time to go
Have to leave this place
All alone, I’m forced
To find the strength
To say it’s enough
Have to find myself and
Get free of you
I’m off to a place
Where love is dismissing and
No one seems to know
What I see, but
That’s okay I’m better
Off alone, free of your
Stress pulling me down
Now I fly slowly above
The clouds of demise
In search of new grounds
Battered and tattered
I’m as a bird flung about
In this stormy life
Dipping low toward my failures
The winds beneath my wings
Keep me above the waters
Of destruction
Love where were you
When I needed you
It’s time to go
Have to leave this place
All alone, I’m forced
To find the strength
To say it’s enough
Have to find myself and
Get free of you
I’m off to a place
Where love is dismissing and
No one seems to know
What I see, but
That’s okay I’m better
Off alone, free of your
Stress pulling me down
Now I fly slowly above
The clouds of demise
In search of new grounds
Battered and tattered
I’m as a bird flung about
In this stormy life
Dipping low toward my failures
The winds beneath my wings
Keep me above the waters
Of destruction
