Unrequited

Life is so damn unfair

For I love you and you don’t care

And I am not the only one
Who loved and was left undone

Remember Liz Cortran?
She loved Billy D. and he just ran

Yes I am not the only one

Who loved and was left undone

Love‘s power makes us feel delighted

But it hurts like hell when it’s unrequited

Rarely do two lovers feel the same
So love seems like a loser’s game

While one is trying way too hard

The other is busy building up their guard
Yet love evokes the gambler’s sin

The belief that the next try will be the win
 

I am not the only one

Who loved and was left undone

Love‘s power makes us feel delighted

But it hurts like hell when it’s unrequited

Like a midsummer night

Cupid’s arrows fly left and right

Rarely hitting two who know

How to let love in and let it grow

Yet love evokes the gambler’s sin

The belief that the next try will be the win

I am not the only one

Who loved and was left undone

Love‘s power makes us feel delighted

But it hurts like hell when it’s unrequited

This house, their home

There’s a billiard table, a corner bar

Video games, and a model car

Cigars in a box and a rifle on the wall

Pin-up calendars and a moose call

This is a his room, a man’s room

Two floors up all flowers and frills

Artistic pictures and family stills

Sewing machine and blooming plants

Bold colors borrowed from Rembrandt's

This is her room, a woman’s room

On the main floor a crazy mix

Glass bookshelves next to fireplace bricks

Black leather sofa and a velvet chair

Red runner up the hardwood stair

This is the kick-back room, the family room

Warm kitchen with granite and wood

Double ovens, induction stove and hood

All-clad cookware and copper pots

Bar corner great for pouring shots

Great for family or entertaining friends

This is where their living blends

This house is now their place

Cradling each other’s space

Inside they’ve thrown their things together

Outside planted bulbs and winter heather

This house is now a home, their home

Love on the Brain

He likes picking up broken things

Tinkering with them until they work again

Maybe that’s why he picked me

Those fissures only he could see

He says, “Precious girl let me love you

Let me melt you into water

Let me lift you into fire

Let’s get lost inside each other”

I dissolve in his pretty words

The sexiest I have ever heard

I know I should probably run

But his flirting is too much fun

His pretty words fall like rain
And now I've got love on the brain

He likes surprising me

By bicycling through soft rain showers

Gifting jellies instead of chocolate

Bringing balloons instead of flowers

I’m in trouble here, I care too much
Yet he phones me just to say goodnight

I know he could crush me and my heart

Still I hug the phone and smile in delight

He says, “Precious girl let me love you

Let me melt you into water

Let me lift you into fire

Let’s get lost inside each other”

I dissolve in his pretty words

The sexiest I have ever heard

I know I should probably run

But his flirting is too much fun

His pretty words fall like rain
And now I've got love on the brain
