I Wrote A Poem Today,Its Message True Words
I wrote a poem today,its message true words
banishing morbid grey,its echoes I heard
in foreign tongues,set my heart aghast,
curses darkly flung,deeds of my past.
I heard a song play,its rhythm so true
banished morbid grey,its dancing was you.
Dear believe these words, our love was once true.
You were my sweetheart,back when love was new.
I cried that sad day,love-loss a great blow
birthed saddest grey,bringing life low
in epic pain found I, darkest of hell
nothing left to gain,ours is a sad tale.
Heard a rumor say,you are pretty still
time to leave today,I write my last will.
Dear believe these words, our love was once true.
You were my sweetheart,back when love was new.

Dear believe these words, our love was once true.
You were my sweetheart,back when love was new.
