Joan Donnelly Ellis Poet Verse

Hopeless

I don't have anything to build on
 All the world is decay
 Love is rarely found
 Today
 I cannot find
 A heart that beats in time
 With mine
 The rainbow hides behind the storm
 All has changed
 Been rearranged 
 Home has been destroyed
 Many are unemployed
 I can't revisit
 The place I used to be
 Tho' I clutch at the memory
 My heart is torn in two
 As I long for
 The girl I used to be
 Where has it gone
 The haven where I once belonged
 As I sang the unheard song
 Oh please Lord grant rest to my soul
 As I ache for yesterday
 Where love beckoned me
 And great neighbours were normality
 What happened to the days long ago
 When green fields held a glow
 And the heart understood
 All was good
 Fear was absent then
 Everyone was friend
 Oh take me back there again
