LOVE,OR SO I THOUGHT
<p><br/></p><p>So I Thought</p><p>I was in love, or so I thought.</p><p>I was flying with the wings of love.</p><p>I did not see the dangers in it;</p><p>neither did I imagine the cost of it.</p><p>My heart taught me to sing;</p><p>the birds heard me scream.</p><p>The trees echoed my voice towards the east.</p><p>Of a truth, I was daydreaming.</p><p>Then came the warning again and again:</p><p>“Be careful, these things will fade away.</p><p>Your heart is so tender, it cannot hold the split.</p><p>Let it go; you cannot bear the grief.”</p><p>“Let me be,” were my words to them.</p><p>I know my face will be to fame.</p><p>I took my place; I know my worth.</p><p>I was in love, or so I thought.</p><p>I lost the grip; lost it all.</p><p>My heart was bleeding; all was wrong.</p><p>The melody was gone; I saw my fall.</p><p>I was not in love—now I know.</p><p>I took my pieces; I taught myself.</p><p>No more nonsense now, for God’s sake.</p><p>I wrote my story, what drove me to naught.</p><p>I was in love, or so I thought.</p>
