Not Even A Goodbye

When You Don't Get That Opportunity

Tender

I was not feeling good the other day and wrote this feeling sure I had lost the love of everyone. I long talk with a loving friend showed me how wrong I was but this had been written. I included the Blur song "Tender" cos it is beautiful and does lift your spirits. I hope this doesn't hurt anyone.

πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

When something is gone , and you can't even speak

Your heart is heavy , you hold back your tears

You know the last words, were final you fear

No argument or fight, you feel so weak

πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

You know you did wrong, you cared far too much

You tried to be there, you did what they asked

Offered support, advice, oh but alas

You then did break it, with your clumsy touch

πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

There will be no goodbye and no farewell

The last words were spoken , no more will be said

You’ll live with this, hoping they will do well

Your love hasn’t changed, but not yours to give

You look and feel so immaterial

Inspiration gone, you hang on a thread

πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€
