Since You've Gone

by Jackie Bilson   Sep 9, 2004


I've tried yoga, I've tried cooking,
But my heart still jumps when you are looking.
I've tried poetry, I've tried exercise,
Yet I still dream of your soulful eyes.
I've tried reading, I've tried sewing,
Yet I still stare when you're not looking.
I've tried shopping, I've tried flirting,
Still I can't stop my heart from hurting.
I've gone to movies, I've made new friends,
Yet the love I have won't seem to end.
I've started sketching, I've started painting,
Still my heart continues waiting.

I've changed my looks, I cut my hair,
All the things that made you stare.
I've stopped smiling, I've stopped living,
Since the day, your heart stopped giving.
