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
