Back When Lost Love, Sent Its Deepest Sad Moans
Back When Lost Love, Sent Its Deepest Sad Moans
Once when life seemed to be a bitter waste
love had failed, left its first unsavory taste,
sky had fallen into a hard heartache blue
when misery had a name, its face was you!
Back when lost love, sent its deepest sad moans
Heartache and long nights echoed loudest groans
Every step taken showered deeper hurts
sorrows and woes grew in midnight spurts
moon laughed at this soul's feeble cries
hellish dark curses fell from black skies!
Back when lost love, sent its deepest sad moans.
Heartache and long nights echoed loudest groans.
Back when dawn's light woke a fallen fool
a malignant lump, a sad useless tool
sun sent down fire, in its angriest rays
those were cutting blades of torturing days!
Back when lost love, sent its deepest sad moans.
Heartache and long nights echoed loudest groans.
Back then, your sweet smile was lost to me
love had fled, life was as a fallen tree
nature complied and sent in its wasting decay
desires cried for you, yet darkness held its sway!
Back when lost love, sent its deepest sad moans.
Heartache and long nights echoed loudest groans.
Once when life seemed to be a bitter waste
love had failed, left its first unsavory taste,
sky had fallen into a hard heartache blue
when misery had a name, it face was you!
Back when lost love, sent its deepest sad moans.
Heartache and long nights echoed loudest groans.

This was written while in the deepest darkest abyss, I've ever known.
One that took me six long years to climb out of (1980) ...
