lovers' spring

when spring isn't enough

 

 

I tried to breathe without you but it only made me hurt

I tried to live without you now I’m lying in the dirt

You called my name and my heart would sing

A foolish song of lovers’ spring

You glanced my way and heard me say

I’d love you

 

Forever

Always

At last

 

I kept you close

Because I figured you brought out the best in me

I held you near because I felt I needed you

But really I was scared

of losing you

 

Forever

Always

At last

 

You kissed my lips and held my hand

In our foolish song of lovers’ spring

You dried my eyes and held me close

When others would push me away

 And you promised

 

Forever

Always

At last

 

You were always there when I needed you

But when I needed you the most you were far away

And when you said you met another

 Had at last met your precious summer

That you were sure I didn’t need you anymore

I knew it would hurt

 

Forever

Always

At last

 

Your promise left broken and bare

Just like my heart

In that loathed song of summer’s lust

Nice form and beautiful flow to this piece. Oh, if only that forever, always and at last could be what it promises! We've all been there I believe, growing in the pain and moving on to that next great love; one can only hope.

Feeling broken and bare, lying in the dirt - beautifully expressive.

Thanks for sharing!

That was beautifully written.

Well it's a very good happening! this is full of such raw pain, and a willingness to make that other person feel what they did to you. I love the visual setup you've given on the page. It really makes the piece stand out and creates wonderful natural pauses. Sometimes you can get lost without them, but this piece really kept that very well organized.
Nice job!
