THEY WALKED HAND IN HAND

 

They walked hand in hand

Through tarragon fields

Where young lovers dream

And reticence yields

ALL FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE

 

He carried her books home from school

All for the sake of love

They kissed on the back row of the pictures

All for the sake of love

They walked down the aisle in June

All for the sake of love

they happily lived in a one bedroom flat

All for the sake of love

They worked hard and scrimped and saved

All for the sake of love

They became a family in a bigger home

All for the sake of love

She divorced him after five years of marriage

All for the sake of lust

I WOULD PUT YOU ON A PEDESTAL

 

I would put you on a pedestal

and prostrate myself before you

I would worship you like a god

I would proffer my heart

On an ornate silver platter.

For your avaricious consumption

I would give you all my love

Unconditionally, unrequited

And thank you for your indifference

I would cherish you in my life, 

Even if you broke my heart in pieces.

I would look upon you lovingly

And gratefully receive your look of disdain

All this I would happily endure

Just to feel, for the briefest moment

The warmth of your embrace

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN HER THE WORLD

 

I would have given her the world

I‘d have written her name in the stars.

I would have given her what was mine

And not demanded that it be ours

Or I’d have sold my soul to the devil

Yes, I would have done all this

I would have done all this and more

And in return, receive a single loving kiss

I LOVED HER SO MUCH

 

I loved her so much

I forgot about me

I surrendered myself

I just thought about we

 

I loved her so much

I always thought about us

But behind my back

She abused my trust.

I DON’T LIKE REPETITION

I don’t like repetition

But I will never complain,

When you tell me you love me

Again and again.

 

LONG TIME FRIEND

 

For so long you have been my friend

But you've grown nearer to my heart,

And now I want our friendship to end

And the longed for love affair to start
