Why are you feeling blue, my soul?

Why are you, my spirit, cast down?

Is it because you’re longing for love,

Love- so elusive and so whimsical

But instead you’re desperate and alone

Finding solace in what’s only physical.

Time after time you had your hopes high

That the Love Fairy would come,

After hearing your desperate cry

And cast a love spell on your new guy

With her powerful magic wand.

And you were elated and glowing for a while,

Dreaming of a happy ending with a smile

But in the end it all turned out to be a lie.

Oh, my poor soul, you were shipwrecked

And cast away on the island of solitude

By the tidal waves in the ocean of despair

After the end of your unhappy love affair

And the broken bond of this ill-fated pair.

Unlucky in love, my soul wanders desolate

Across the desert island- suffering…

The never-ending quest for love proved futile

And my spirit roams alone in exile,

Wondering,

“Why are you, Fate, so cruel?

Why are you laughing in my face?

Don’t you know that Love is the fuel

That keeps my soul ablaze?

My soul needs love to live

As my body needs air to breath

But I cannot get it unless I give!

And even then there is no guarantee

That love will be returned to me.

Why, doesn’t love always reciprocate

But is a whimsical gift of free will?

Why can’t you make it happen for me, Fate?

I want to love and be loved as well!”
