Love is dead
He was my North, my South, my East and West.
My working week and my Sunday rest.
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song.
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
Stop All The Clocks WH Auden
He was my North, my South, my East and West.
My working week and my Sunday rest.
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song.
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
My time was stopped by him,
And my love has died
With him
He left me for a new midnight
A new song
Sung by a new forever
I lay here like an old toy
Worn and sad
Remembering when I was his favorite
But I am no longer the favorite
For my love is dead
My broken heart can no longer be fixed
Its shattered pieces
Have flown too far
To be retrieved
My tears and sorrowful words hit the ground
As fast as my crippled body does
Then I see you
I new type of song
A song not pleasant alone
For your voice has been broken by your forever
Just like my dead love
You took my broken heart and sewed it together
You treat me not as an old toy but your most precious thing
Which I am not
A precious thing
And you are not my North
Or my south
Or my noon
But I will sit with you at midnight
And hold your hand
I will be your harmony
To make your broken voice sound
Like the song of the most beautiful mockingbird
You will not be my talk
For we shall talk together
We will share our precious time
And rest together
On Sunday
My love died once
But now it lives
Beating like my sewn heart
And sings like our song

I wanted to communitcate that love is not a "perfect person" and they don't need to be your "everything"
