A lie is bitter
Stain on the soul
Muddies the waters
To what end or goal
...
The melody of love
Is a vibrant track
With highs and lows
The lyrics pull you back
...
I came into this world
A mixed blessing
Cast in stone
Emotions all a swirl
...
I found myself
After many years
Trials and tribulations
Too many tears
...
A broken heart is tender
A bruise upon the soul
Wounded by a lover
Who failed his only role
...
I had a plan
I chose a path
Made a commitment
Settled in
...
I woke up at the edge
Of life today
I could see my path
And where I strayed
...
The heart and mind
Play funny games
Battle for billing
Fear or logic
...
I’ve left the past in its place
Transferred disappointments to lessons learned
Sweet memories close, not to chase
Cashing in pain for happiness earned
...
