Rod Stewart - You Were Wrong

By WaryDreamer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I hate to tell you this, my friend   but I've heard you sing that song Where "The first cut is the deepest"   and you've got the words all wrong. My first love? It WAS special;   and it's true, we joined our hands, But this one just absorbed my heart   as we played out in the sands. Although the loss of any love   cuts the marrow of our soul, When mine walked away from me,   it left a great big hole. No, it's not a tiny cut, my friend,   but an enormous void I feel, Regardless of the time that's passed   it just hasn't seemed to heal. Why, on the surface, I look just fine   and I'm sure I'd be "approved," But it's not obviously apparent   that my heart has been removed. Perhaps one day I'll find someone   who'll bandage up my wound, But today, next week, or 100 years   will probably be too soon. Yes, Someday in the worlds to come   Someone will surely come along, But just to set the record straight,   Mr. Stewart...you were wrong.               m Written October 23rd, 2001 © on Oct 23 2001 01:36 AM PST   10 • 0
