Undue Love

By Dr. Emil Khoury •
You took my heart and soul
You left me here and went away
You could've changed your mind
Why didn't you just stay?
I don't know what is fair
I don't know who's to blame
When life decided to separate us
You chose to lock me in a frame
I'm not trying to forget you
I just can't forget you, can I?
I'm just trying to move along
Don't ask me how hard I try
I seem to laugh and smile
But the fact is I really cry
I seem to soar and dance
But the fact is I can’t fly
I'm nothing but a drifting quill
Floating in a sadistic whirlwind
Jogging between all corners of Earth
No home to resort to, or to live in
I'm nothing but a shattered heart
A walking man without a driving soul
Every time I try to rise
I just crumble and then fall
