Don't Play Me Love Songs Poem by Danny Speicher

Don't play me love songs filled with naive views on love
Can't you see this heart breaking? Can't you hear it cry?
Please don't play those sweet, old love songs; Please don't ask why
I guess this love inside I don't want to think of

Don't play me sad songs filled with harmonious woe
Don't you know I know how to be sad already?
Please don't play sad songs for this heart, so unsteady
My eyes have already cried far more than you know

Play for me, instead, a song filled with hope and dreams
Play me songs that speak of tomorrow, not today
Reminding me this pain won't always come my way
Make me feel that life isn't as hard as it seems

Don't play love songs, I don't want to hear of their bliss
Play me songs, instead, that give me hope of her kiss
