Abbey Lincoln

Love has gone away heaving a sign with no regrets
for yesterday heaving a side love said goodbye
so with sad and love, love walked away, a spirit child
love had to go, loves has to play, love went away, away from a place of fools in pain
with teardrops and heartaches all again
only a game of hatred and love
all thrown in together
of kiss or shove
reaching for my hand
love walked away, sighing to leave, but ready to stay
