Come to me good spirit
Break this spell
There’s no charm left
In this wishing well
I gave it no pennies
I dropped only pounds
But alas the paper
Makes no sound
There is a man
I have wanted so long
Will you good spirit
Tell me where I went wrong
He’ll not come back
Though I think
He holds the key
Tell me, is he the one
That can set me free?
I have done my wrongs
But, I am paying the price
Will this forever be the
‘Story of my life’?
I try so hard
But it does no good
Is he still in my grasp?
Or is he my past?
The dreams I had were
Short and sweet
Of how and when
My love and I did meet
My dreams are only questions now
Mainly filled with
Whats and whys
Because I know not
The reasons
I do nothing
But cry each time
Good spirit
Does he laugh at me
For being some fool
Having no sense
But giving airs as if I do?
Is he making it harder for me
Because of previous rejection?
I had wanted him so much then
And crave him still
But I fear his once desire
I may have killed
The pain I go through
For the love of one man
Is it really worth it?
I have shed my tears
And felt the usual sting
In my heart
And still I go on
The memory though bad
Is still too sweet to forget
Oh spirit
Help me to decide
Do I go on?
Or do I break my stride
And turn away like he?
We hurt each other’s pride
We did each other wrongs
But how do we forgive
When we don’t want to apologise?
The story still goes on
With sorrowful looks
And silent words
But a light still burns inside
Keeping those feelings alive
