Leaky Roof

Can we be repaired

is humanity a leaky roof

My lover has disappeared

He probably was never true

I still love you

Sit up at night and wish for you

but I know nothing can keep us together

we were heroes only for one day

we stole time anyway

but I must face

this truth

I still love you

but you never loved me

never can give me the time of day

i thought he was a safe space

there was so much pain

I was fooled by the masked sweet kisses in November rain

Can we be repaired

can love reappear

come through this leaky roof

making broken hearts beat true

again

for love

I am ready to meet the new

always sad to say goodbye to you

what's a girl got to do

how can we get a man's

love

to come through this leaky roof

the motif of a leaky roof was captivating. it was an original and memorable twist to this oft recanted story about heartbreak. and as someone with deep scars remaining from unrequited love, i should tell you that it will be alright. however, at least for me, the alright was at the top of a very steep mountain. it was worth the trek, but i will never get back that lost time. nevertheless, i believe whole-heartedly you will find the person who will riase your energies to its maximum. just like a broken bone, a broken heart heals in the end.
