.......
I've loved and loves been lost
never found not sought to replace
I've covered, smothered and lashed
out until I feel as though it's gone
only to find it hiding, grinning and jeering
in an overlooked crevice in my mind
they say to loved and lost is better
then to never know love and die alone
but with this love gnawing at me
I say these people must never have loved at all
for if they had they too would denounce it
but love is blind and lovers cannot see
the jagged rocks below
never found not sought to replace
I've covered, smothered and lashed
out until I feel as though it's gone
only to find it hiding, grinning and jeering
in an overlooked crevice in my mind
they say to loved and lost is better
then to never know love and die alone
but with this love gnawing at me
I say these people must never have loved at all
for if they had they too would denounce it
but love is blind and lovers cannot see
the jagged rocks below
