He came into my life
\none blessed day.
\nMy heart danced and my soul twirled,
\neven the sun came out to play.<\/p>\n
He grew within me,
\nand we promised to never be apart.
\nWe were locked together like glue,
\nbut I realized that it wasn’t true.<\/p>\n
What shall I do?
\nThe wind took him away.
\nMy heart was flooded from the non-stop rain,
\nleft alone like a stray dog.<\/p>\n
I found a new life form
\nin a place called loneliness.<\/p>\n
My life is blue,
\nbut who is here to blame?<\/p>\n
Life is never fair,
\nunless you live high in the air.
\nYou will live happy, and that is rare.<\/p>\n
It’s hard.
\nIt’s tough.
\nMy soul has been scarred.
\nI know it’s been enough.<\/p>\n
But there was more and more.
\nI have lived so long\u2014not in years,
\nbut in wounds and pain.<\/p>\n
I swear it’s a crime,
\n’cause if you can just understand my pain,
\nyou will see a real hurricane inside me
\nthat can blow away every sin.<\/p>\n
And for me, I wish I had Alzheimer’s Disease
\nto kill all your loving seeds
\nwithin me. And hang my heart
\non the highest tree. So no one can reach it.
\nSo my soul can be free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
