I Must Now Stand Alone(gold)



I've been under your spell for so long it seems
together I'd hoped we could achieve our dreams,
but no matter how much love I gave to you
it seems all along you had a different view.

To do your bidding as you led me around
not a word of love to me ever made a sound,
as your hands would mold me to you own expectations
for clearly your love has such soft foundations.

For another has now clearly taken your eye
and my tears softly fall as I await your goodbye,
oh please murmur one word to appease my heart
for I know very soon all my dreams will depart.

My love was true but you could not see
and now it is time, you must set me free,
my feelings are battered and you don't understand
that love never lasts when it's just on demand.

Lyrics Prompt
Wind Me Up Let Me Go

I'm just a little tin soldier in your hands
I'm good for nothing but to obey your commands
You'll never really love me, I know
So wind me up, let me go

I'm just your plaything 'till you see someone else
But even tin soldier have hearts don't you know
So wind me up, let me go

You don't really need me
You have hundred other toys
And teardrops don't look good

In the eyes of soldier boy
So pick me up and hold me one more time
That's just a consolation for this heart of mine
Whisper a sweet word to the one who loved you so
Then wind me up let me go
Then wind me up let me go
Let me go

Sung By Cliff Richard

    a good poem, ah yes, love can not be moulded into something to be used for gain, it must always flow freely for it to reach the heart's rhythm, and if it does not, then love will be lost in the shades of time.
