This love has left me
all alone.
There's no one there
to hold me close.
No one there
to let love lie.
This love has left me
high and dry.

This love has left
what will love say?
When love takes leave
What can one say?

Shredded words
they hit the mark.
And where there's blood
there will be sharks.
Don't tell me
that you flung the dart.
The dart which tore
straight to my heart.

Shredded words
which slice and chisel.
I look forward
to the daily whistle.
I look forward
to the final touch.
I look forward
for iv'e seen to much.

Eric
The more I read this the more I read into it.  Is there a subtle shift I detected at the end? I like that there is more to this.
