No More Lovely Days

By Abi Roe

For a love that fills the empty silence,

Why is it always quiet?

Whenever my heart aches for your comfort,

Why do I never buy it?

My heart believed -- with all I’d known --

That you and I were lovely.

But now I know

My heart you were just buying.

All my friends and your friends too

Told me I was mistaken.

I didn’t believe them so that’s what I get.

And now my heart you have broken.
