Pale Shelter John Hamilton Poetry Contest

Pale Shelter A Song by the Band Tears for Fears Was i supposed to know ? The answers ? Or whether they were merely questions ? With changing goalposts Less and Less The relationship power sands shift In opposing directions When all i want is love You reduce me to tears All i want is love Yet you highlight my fears How am i to know ? When i am at your mercy Treated with unloving courtesy When all i want is love You reduce me to tears When all i asked of you was love You terrorised me with fears Im not going there with you again It's time to break this unholy covenant All i ever wanted was you to love me But all you ever gave me was tears And brought to life my fears 28 November 2019 For John Hamilton's Pale Shelter Contest
