Left

Just like a magician with nothing
	up his sleeve,
I’m just naked for all to see
	baring my soul to those who’ll listen.
I talk of things ailing the sick soul,
	for nothing seems to remedy his malady.
Love is said to conquer all, but love is
	plenty, yet hard to find.

I miss Love’s soft touch, but I felt
	too oft’ the painful sting of deceit.
Maybe I’ll never know true love, but what
	love I did have has left.
