A NEW START

A NEW START


Cold darkness is all around,
Icy winds chill my heart,
Shaking it down to the core
And ripping it apart.

Was it what I expected,
When I dated you first?
I knew not at the ninth cloud,
My love balloon would burst.

I am a stranger to you.
I’m not now in your thought.
On my heart a tragedy,
You have so truly wrought.

I wish I knew the cause of
Your fury worse than hell.
Whether you believe or not,
Let me honestly tell:

I have loved you true and pure,
None else I have in heart.
Let us forget the past and
Make again a new start.
