No More Tears

I don’t care about
Taylor’s end of an era
I need a drama 
about actualities 
of living a broke down life

in this distressing 
out of control real world
where the line between 
love and hate quickly erodes
until no feelings remain

no tears on this girl’s
guitar nothing that keeps me
wishing on a star
no more tears now you have gone
no wishes will bring you back


Some lines based on Taylor Swift’s song Teardrops on My Guitar.

Our world is in chaos. Losing love is horrible. Life can be surprising.

Hello Chetta, Well said my friend, and yes, there is an erosion between Love and Hate in our out of control world. Autumn Blessings, Chetta, Daniel
