HANGING ONTO YOUR LOVE?

HANGING ONTO YOUR LOVE?

Even though you have gone!

You’ve used and abused

You’ll never know the truth

Your own head in the lofty clouds

Doing your own thing

Wanting your own thing

Manier woman you have broken in two

You’ve played the seductive tune

Seduction personified

Your fingers playing, playing

Jazz, Jazz

Pizazz

Now it feels like a war in my heart

Did you think or believe

That I had a bullet proof soul?

My love was like no other

But it was a bother

A bother to you!

Sadness, sadness

You just took it all

And still the tears keep a running

Yet you did not appreciate this out of the ordinary

LOVE!

You wanted uncomplicated

You wanted a LOVER!

You wanted a friend

But I truly know it was not like that!

You were and are bloody scared!

You’ll never find that elusive love

Because she is right under your nose!

Nose, nose

Because she knows

She knows you!

You are too afraid to be alone

So you say!

Sweetness, sweetness

Make your mind up before it is too late

And that gate

Will be permanently shut

And no one will want to know you!

I have the memories

Memories that were and are still precious

But I cannot go backwards

Memories are not enough

I want more than that

I couldn’t have loved you more boy

But you didn’t

Yet I know you

Know you, know you

Loneliness is a killer

A killer of the heart and soul

A void, a void

You so avoid

Yet I’m hungry for life and love

That you cannot give

Or can you?

Or could you?
