How Dare You?

\nHow dare you be so beautiful? You’ve stolen all my dreams
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And ripped away the calm fa\u00e7ade I kept.
\nWhat right have you to change the world and unpick all my schemes
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The inner me was happy as it slept.
\nBut you arrived and life was new, the sun rose every day,
\nWithout a please, or by your leave, you swept the past away.<\/p>\n
How could you smile and melt the ice that held my silent heart,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Did you not realise what you could do?
\nYour pretty words and carefree voice have torn the peace apart,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Replacing shade of grey with thoughts of you.
\nWhere had you been for all my life, why weren’t you by my side?
\nI can’t believe that pretty face was ever meant to hide.<\/p>\n
How can I face my yesterdays without a single tear,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Now that I know each hour was time to waste.
\nThe murky mists that hid my fears have now begun to clear
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 And I can see what I have never faced.
\nWhere will I find another hole to hide in till I die,
\nNow there’s a warming summer sun hung high up in my sky?<\/p>\n
How could you be a friend to me, how could you spring the trap,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 That held me fast for far too many years?
\nYou were the nurse who brought me round and gave my face a slap,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And left me with ten thousand souvenirs.
\nYou took away a part of me, yet left me feeling whole,
\nHow dare you steal a poet’s heart and give him back his soul?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
