Poerty Corner

So, my dad would write poems and songs sometimes.  In fact, he even wrote some nice love letters to my mom.  Who knew the man had it in him.  Anyway, I dug them out and am in the process of archiving them.  I ultimately want to put them to music and make an album dedicated to my dad. 

Here is one that I really like.  It's called "Break Away".

Break Away

Break away, break away

Make a brand new start today.

Why not give yourself

A brand new start.

Break away, break away.

Don't let the others say

"There's no way

that you can mend a broken heart"

Break away if you dare.

Break away if you don't care.

Break away if that's the way

You really feel.

Break away if you can.

Leave me a busted man.

Break away and leave

The only love that's real.

Go ahead, walk away.

Start yourself a brand new day.

Go ahead, just walk away

From me.

Go ahead, I'll survive.

I'm still pretty much alive.

Except in your world.

Where I'm just a memory.
