A Toast To Life and Love

To Life that Rude mistress
she comes to me
then leaves a mess

To Love Oh that cruel Mistress
She knocked on my door
and shattered my heart

To these two I gave my best
I gave my all
but all they gave me
were a couple shards

Now I sit here by this old oak tree
both names in a pierced heart next to me
the world around silent and still

Waiting for this next wave
oh that wave of destruction
that follows love and life

To those two I gave my best
I gave my all
But all they gave me
Was a pile of dust

Where did I go wrong?
Letting those two into my life?
Or was it the girls they embodied?

Nevertheless I sit here
Alone
Tired
Torn

Tell me what I must do now
Tell me where to go after this
Hurricane.
