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
