This Is Not Another Love Song

This Is Not Another Love Song

A Poem by Bo Lanier

Well and it's a winter wonderland tonight

by the light of a bright full moon but

THIS IS NOT ANOTHER LOVE SONG

oh no it's more like a dagger through the

heart and a ghost from the past come home

well and I am restless, climbing the stairs

and going from room to room, room to room

of haunted memories, I haven't felt so sad

or unhappy since 2003, where are the reasons

for being thrown for this flip again, de ja vou...

I've been here before but why was I so blind

to the signs this time, I swore I would never

let you betray me again; I guess I was just

crazy to think you could change your cheating

ways and love only me now I have come to

tearfully see nobody really loves anybody

anymore, you were just a waste of my precious,

precious time but when you are dead and gone

I will live on and on, people will ask about you

but all I'll have to say is that I guess you just

packed up your stuff one day out of the blue

and moved on, nobody will ever know the truth,

nobody will ever know that I shot and killed you

and threw your body over widow's hill, down into

the dark ocean below on this cold, cold winter's

night by the light of a bright, bright full moon,

laughing to myself well I guess I had my revenge

in the end but now I know it wasn't the end of

it all for the ghost of you is back just to torment

me and drive me insane as I go climbing the stairs

down the dark halls and from room to haunted room

full of memories, well I've never known heart pounding

fear like I do tonight, I pray God forgive me but didn't

you have it coming to you, I was just trying to spare

someone else the despair you put me through,

well and so it might look like a winter wonderland

tonight by the light of a bright, bright full moon

but THIS IS NOT ANOTHER LOVE SONG oh no

you might be dead but the ghost of you has come

home, I know it's a fine line between love and hate

but this is more like some kinda sick and twisted fate

yeah you might be dead now but you just won't

leave me alone…the ghost of you has come home

and this is hell on earth for me now, I should of just

left well enough alone, oh but this never was, THIS

NEVER WAS A LOVE SONG!

A love song? No...it does not sound like it was ever a love song. A love song is something shared between two hearts, until it is familiar enough that you sing it in perfect harmony. Sometimes, we think it's love...but try as we might...there is no harmony. Only pain and betrayal. I feel your pain in every line. Every word. I'm am sorry for that...and yet, it is that very pain that builds character. Steel is tested in fire. When we pass through these kinds of tests, we either break, or become stronger for it...and I believe you will grow in wisdom and strength. I believe that because you write...and writing helps us come to terms with pain and loss.
