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.
I wrote a poem today,its message true words

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