NOBODY’S SWEETHEART

NOBODY’S SWEETHEART

Nobody’s sweetheart

But does it really matter

It’s a big world out there

The sky’s the limit

Can’t get a grip on

The turning of my soul

Feels like an open book that no one can read

Such a familiar ache of years in the making

Still end up in the same place

With different names

Endless as the sun escaping on the surface of the sea

This ache seems to linger on and on

Run to the harbor

Bank on the shore

Of this effervescent heart

Scarce is the wind on my face

Faint is the memory of your smile

Distant is the current, which curtails the reason

Nobody’s sweetheart

Words ringing in my head

Reminiscent of the mistakes I’ve made

Remnants of the words unsaid

In a swirl of sentiment

Searching for an answer

Left in the hollow questioning

Seeing You through the cancer

Of this forlorn heart, broken beyond repair

Still singing of your goodness

You’re the One incomprehensibly there
