Love Was a Bust

Dying

slowly

I don’t want to die alone

I want to hold her hand

or pretend to

She won’t mind

Her pussy was worth it

not her position

Dogfish

-----

I didn’t want to die

I wanted to live for my Anthi

I’m not sure it was enough

for a so-called life

The sea and the sky darkened

Goodbye

My wings are old

I don’t believe in the other side

Perhaps a sanctuary

-----

Demis Roussos - Goodbye My Love Goodbye
