cheer

 
my cheerful reverie is fading
I can barely smile these days
hush now sorrow don't stir within me
bringing up past hurts pricking my thoughts

sadness won't help me now
deep need isn't attractive
it claws the walls of sanity breaking me
keenind within is my beauty
I will incarcerate the mad woman who stil loves him

his mind is elsewhere
seeking affections of another
competeing for tenderness doesn't make sense
it's either there or it's not

made up feelings hurt worse than none
it's an effort to reach out to me
great pains come watching you extend yourself for someone else
the chase seems so seductive
you want to know you can still seduce
an aged man, it's in your power I never doubted
whatever the case I'm pulling for you

my brokenheart won't mend
I don't want another
