Love Vacant

Love, where be thee on this day?
Love why abandoned thee, I say
Love in darkened smiles of hate
Love twas neither good nor great
Love left its scars and turned away
Love!! LOVE? A new love! Come forth
Show thy self like summers warmth
Bring new ways and not many wants
I seek thee as thee surely seeks me
Wandering hopeless in jealous misery

In the gardens blooming she wasn't
Beside the lake all calm she wasn't
The village green was ornately pleasant
Hymns and bells - 7 sins in heaven?
All is forgotten at confession by eleven
New borne and relinquished of sin
Unholy truth lies beneath a vicars grin

Love thy neighbour
Love thy self
Love the saviour
Love in the beauty of the world
Love left me on the shelf
Love left me for someone else
Someone, somewhere, wanting thee

Love vacant in thy old photographs
Love left thee alone with pains grasp
Holding firm but something's don't last
Loneliness remains in empty laughs

Love can be thy cure, pleasure or pain
Love is overrated when pain remains
Love is thy light when darkness falls
Love is thy mystery that binds us all

Love can be thy rose petal, thy thorn or thy scent
Love can be disguised as ye heavenly body sent
Love's lust is thee attraction thy greet
Love is in ye eyes of thee people thy meet

Love? Find thee thy is yours
Do as thee please but please thee for sure
Don't leave thee broken and hurt anymore
I've picked thyself up off of this cold lonely floor
