PHILOSOPHY OF HEARTACHE

Finally you have driven me from your bosom
with hate, jealousy and malice
I have tried to be the perfect one
but your message is frosty, cold as ice

I’ve tried being something I’m not
and there is nothing more to do
my well has run to dry rot
but you could have been something too

Good things sometimes come in small packages, this is certainly one of them Trev.The last four lines were almost a story of their own! Great stuff.

This should be dedicated to all the people who have tried to fit into a mold that their partner made for them, and failed.Lovely piece.

The last line did it for me, nice one.
