the pain of knowing(Arnold Melleby, 11.21.2017)

lithium
riding a Trojan horse
crying
over a bridge
built in 1985

a blotus
blessed with beauty
a bottle of tequila
and a sixpack of brew
getting high on life
and low on cocaine

here I am
I don`t have a clue
on what to do
what`s with this world
what`s with the rulers
and the ones that follow
I don`t know
I want to get out of here

the pain of knowing
everywhere you`re going
still lingers on
the pain of knowing
is you

my bed committed suicide
I guess I have to sleep somewhere else tonight

the sweet swan upon Avon(Arnold Melleby, 11.11.2017)

I left you
without ever
meeting you

I turned right
only to learn
I was wrong
down the road

I stumbled on
a tumbstone
half way covered
in dust and sand
I could still read your name

I can feel my heart bleed
we planted a seed
but never hung around
to watch it grow
you knew
and I know

fire and ice
all at the same time
you said you were
now we all know
the truth of that
is a lie

you were not the first
but you will be the last
to greet
the sweet swan upon Avon

the sweet swan upon Avon
the sweet swan upon Avon
the sweet swan upon Avon
