Cruel World

My tears ran like autumn rain
When cupids love was slain
In my heart there was only pain
I turn my back upon the world.

My world was shattered
When I lost all that mattered
And my dreams were scattered
I turn my back upon the world.

My heart has been broken
Her love for me was only token
All her promises now forsaken
I turn my back upon the world.

The loss of my hearts desire
Cold embers where once was fire
To love again I can only aspire
I turn my back upon the world.

But with head high I went forward
Feeling not a little awkward
And I found my just reward
When I went again into the world.

Though my love ended in tears
It's never as dark as it appears
I've put aside my darkest Fears
And I must go again out into the world.

Now back from the brink of madness
With Only distant memories of Sadness
My heart no resounds in gladness
Now I'm back again into the world.
