The Sweetest Thing

by Weeping Wolf   Aug 15, 2006


I will be the sweetest thing under the sun
I will love a thousand people and not hurt one
I will be the sweetest thing under the moon
I will sing with birds and make them swoon

I am loved
in despair
this heart
needs care
i belong
in a sad song...

I was born
in a tragic place
i was shone
your eyes and saw
my own pain...

I will be the sweetest thing under the sun
I will love a thousand people and not hurt one
I will be the sweetest thing under the moon
I will sing with birds and make them swoon

With animal eyes
and a suitcase heart
i say my goodbyes
on a horse-drawn cart

a face, old and worn
a lie, cold and torn.
but no matter how hurt i am...
I still sing. i live on.

because i will be the purest thing under the sun
because i have a heart to love a thousand people,
and not...hurt...a single...one.

    This is beautifully written.I love the repeat of certain stanzas.And your use of images, like 'a suitcase heart' are so unique and fantastic.This is a very touching, moving poem and reveals both the sadness and all the love in your heart.Excellent.
