Love Is a Catastrophe

Love is a catastrophe Look what it's done to me Brought me down here so low stranded, nowhere to go No concentration just rerunning conversation Trying to understand how I fell into this quicksand What happens next? With life I'm unimpressed Pain like a cutter's knife Never been lonelier in my life Who issued the instruction for this mad act of destruction? An end to equilibrium Fate laughs: Look what we've done to him! High wind through the trees Falling November leaves A weak sun hanging low Summer seems so long ago All my former dreams tender romantic schemes revealed as so naive To think I could believe In love as the kindest law not as a declaration of war on my life and sanity Now I know at last for me love is a catastrophe
