Hell Came In When You Said Goodbye
I took pride in this heart of mine,
a plush evergreen tree in root.
A strawberry island on which to dine,
silver star on a cowboy's boot.
I took hell when this heart split,
separation rang out hollow.
When blood flowed in bit by bit,
needed recovery had to follow.
I took courage when life renewed,
my pride only then returned.
Life was then softer and subdued,
our flame no longer burned.
I took flight to find another sky,
one giving pretty rainbows out.
Hell came in when you said goodbye,
now leaves with a mighty shout!
I took pride in this heart of mine,
a plush evergreen tree in root.
A strawberry island on which to dine,
silver star on a cowboy's boot.
