Crossword Ballad

I've got one for you

5 across, 7 letters

Another word to describe heartbreak

Another word to describe heartache

Another word to summarize all the,

Feelings of these bleeding hearts

He says, "Try anguish, try distress, try torture, try despair."

But none of them, match up, dear



I've got another one for you

13 down, a synonym of misery

He says, "Try calamity, try catastrophe, try disaster, try squalor."

None of them, fit, they are far too long

Only six letters

He says, "Try burden, try ordeal, try stitch, try twinge."

But none of them, match up, dear



I've got another one for you

22 across, something similar to abandoned

Something to describe what we feel inside

Something to send out a rescue call

He says, "Try deserted, try desolate, try isolated, try solo, try solitary, try unaccompanied, try unescorted, try widowed."

But none of them, match up, dear



There's one more left

An empty space

13 down, 8 letters

The description reads, "Something commonly said between lovers."

He says, "Try I hate you, try forgive me, no, that is far too long."

"Try You liar, try betrayal, try insecure, try I'm sorry."

None of them, match up, dear

The correct submission is, "I love you."



Perhaps we have been beaten far too much,

Drug down the wrong path,

And betrayed far too many times.

The only words that come from our lips,

Are negative,

Laced with past reflections.

Maybe if we try harder,

Or if we keep our chin up, in the right direction,

Looking for the right person.



Oh, who am I kidding, He says "You liar."

Things just will never be the same.

We can't utter a single positive thing,

The negatives always disintegrating our brain,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

It was never meant to pan out this way

Now we're left with nothing to say,

No adjectives to save the day,

Nothing to make ammends,

We can't reconcile, and we can't move on,

We're just too alike,



WE'LL ALWAYS BE WRiTiNG THE SAME SUBJECTS iN EVERY SONG.
