Loves Gone
I picked up a smile off the floor,
The smile someone had discarded as they walked out of the door.
The smile didn't fit me, it gave me a lopsided grin,
So I just let it slip and I looked miserable again.
Time just stands still,
I feel shaky and I feel ill.
Of all of the sounds I have heard,
The worst was the songs of the songbirds, because they sang all of the wrong words.
The world may continue to spin,
But for me time had stood still within.
For that moment when you said goodbye,
My heart shattered and I died!
