"It Kills to Love"

"It Kills to Love"

Verse 1:
Hey you - like me, you're standing there..
We're not to far away from shaking cups on the side of the road.
It's you - beneath the city lights-
The smog creates a glow that makes you look so unbelievable..
A cool, calm breeze carries your scent..
As like a transmission does for radio..

Chorus:
You are my shining star-
And I just couldn't get away much lady - now that you've gone on home.
You are so very far and it just kills to love you lady-
Now that you've gone on home.

Verse 2:
And blue, it comes in many shades.
But none quite like the way I felt day you packed and went back home.
We'll lose- no matter which way it goes.
Our love is a lonely ghost of a tortured soul.
Lost and without a cause.
I knew that it'd be over soon-
Just thought I'd let you know that I dont want to let you go.

Bridge:
Meet me on the Lower East Side.
On the Brooklyn Bridge, I want to look into your eyes.
There'll be no one else that we will recognize.
We'll be the only ones in the world.
I'm so into you.
 
-Jaymes Garden

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
