BREAK YOUR HEART

​

The light on the plain

is fading with the day

Rocks and stones,

broken bones, bursten clay

In the distant light

you can see the hills

fade away

​

So why did you

break your heart?

Did you not have enough

to care for in your life

Why did you break your heart?

It doesn’t seem right

​

You roam along, by yourself,

‘till the break of dawn

The water’s there,

you stop and stare –

and move on

Somewhere in your heart

there is a memory

of what’s gone

​

You – don’t – want –

your greyness to fade

Happiness, sweet caress,

throw it away

Every building is a tombstone -

so you say

​
