The Town Crier

Let me tell you a little about a small One Heart town, I know
It was a great place to live,but that was another heart ago

There was a glee in thoughts that was obvious in voice
You couldn't help but be submersed in it... there was no choice
All nights were peaceful as two hearts fit together as one
Discontent never came around.. He knew if he did he was done
Now we only hear sad tears saying "I miss you"
The only lips we see are frowning begging to kiss you
The most fulfilled ones had sweetness coming out of their ears
Now all the sweet is bitter, and it comes out in tears
This town, so lovely, never thought Bad could ever reach us
Apparently, though, life had some lessons yet to teach us
It seemed to fall apart, Just when we thought we figured it out
We learned..we don't know nuthin... reality told us to butt out
They put formidablewalls up where gates used to be
Someone found locks there on the door that was open for me
Blinds now cover all the windows that the light shined through
Darkness took over what had been a truly breathtaking view
The sun has been devoured whole by a sinister, cloud
The stars were all stolen by a thoughtless crowd
Now only black remains,in place of an amazing azure
left only uncertainty where everything before was so damn sure
Hurt resides in the place where Happy used to live
Selfish gave himself the plot next door to Give
Honey and Baby were the best part of our everyday vernacular
Bitch and Asshole now have a wellful of regretfully unspectacular
Love ultimately moved away because Pain moved in
Anger used to come and go but then just never left again
Hugs hung out with Kisses for a short time
Alas, Shove and his gang came along, with their abusive crime
Then,Bruises showed up randomly, at his leizure and convenience
Spite, remained utterly oblivious to his civil disobedience
Oh yes, now that you mention it... I remember them well
No one can forget the Heaven we had before there was Hell
Touching and Feeling were well known...before this fall
Holding and Kissing were related to them...If I do recall
Tender was seen  running around with that little Rough son
They both went the wrong direction and are now...just gone.
Yeah, I know. There's no need to preach to the choir
It is a sad, sad story with implications that are dire
We were sure that Love could outlast all, but we were wrong
Thought it was indestructable, but it just wasn't that strong
I almost forgot..you remember Understanding, don't you?
Well there was a horrible tornado of Doubt that flew through
It left an awful mess, knocked Trust right off his feet
No, no...nothing like that, Silly. No one here would ever cheat
I still see Love and Affection come through now and then
We used to know, now, we aren't sure when they'll be back again
The stays are getting further apart, and are much too short
The visits used to be long and languid, exactly NOT of thi sort
Yep, the history of my town would bring a tear to anyone's eye
I tell it at least once a day. I get misty, no matter how I try
Yeah we used to have a pretty nice town, surely, the one n only
We used to be Two Hearts... Now everyone just calls us Lonely.
