Scarecrow

I can live my life without love,

Why, I have for most of it now.

What on earth is the fuss about?

I shan't let it wrinkle my brow.



So he's changed your life and his mind,

What is the big deal anyway?

All relationships come to an end -

If you want the journey, you pay.



Don't talk of sunsets and roses,

Of heaven and 'eternity-bound'.

Know that manure keeps crops growing -

Keep your boots and thoughts on the ground.



I'll be the scarecrow in the field

Alone, but doing its duty.

What use is love to such as we?

Barrenness is our beauty.
