A Report From Court On a Cold Day

The Best Part of Breaking Up
Longing ~ Raleigh Hill
There's a weight on my heart,
The burden is heavy,
Only one day apart,
I miss you already.
Oh why did you leave me?
Why did you go away?
You have to believe me,
I wanted you to stay.
But alas you are gone,
You walked out of my life,
And I'm left all alone,
To the cold, lonely night.
I'm sure I'll recover,
But afraid only when,
I come to discover,
Your here with me again.

A Report From Court On a Cold Day ~ Raleigh Hill
'Twas a cold lonely day with the sky shades of gray,
when word finally returned from the court,
for the lady in wait,
on the search of a mate,
And the following's that fateful report:
"I'm afraid my good lady, but you won't be getting married,
we've traveled far performing our duty,
having surveyed the men,
the search's come to an end,
And there's no man deserving of your beauty."
Yet what surely was meant as a grand compliment,
could to her not have sounded more hollow,
and fair lady took flight,
to the cold lonely night,
And she wept in her bed tears of sorrow.
On the following day there was more of the same,
and the beauty seemed lost to her bed,
when the butler came by,
saw the look in her eye,
Felt compassion and finally said:
"Why do you weep, when the love that you seek,
is not always laid right in your way,
you may think it a curse,
but things could be much worse,
And you'll find someone elsewhere someday.
"For if you look again, your true beauty's within,
and soon joy, not pain you will feel,
I've known it a while
since I first saw you smile,
And if I see it then someone else will."
And in just a short while, what was this? but that smile,
Creeping across her heavenly face,
it had just became clear,
the end of waiting drew near,
And departing she ran from that place.
And on a cold happy day, with the sky shades of gray,
she presented herself to the court,
gathered everyone's attention,
her parent's not to mention,
Then delivered her very own report:
"You have scoured our lands, and I'm thankful I am,
but you no longer need to search those,
for look for no other,
I'm in love with the butler,
And all the time he was right under my nose!"

Hopelessly Lost ~ Raleigh Hill
I walk along,
The road alone,
and know not where it leads,
No light before,
No light behind,
my love encaptures me.
I've gone nowhere,
Iv'e seen no one,
and wonder when it ends,
For what's the use,
In me wanting you,
we'll only just be friends.
And so I stand,
It seems I'm stuck,
to walk this lonely trail
I've tried so hard,
To win your hand,
and every time I've failed.
Yet nothing's changed,
'Tis you I chose,
for better or for worse,
And I'll love you,
Now and beyond,
until my fate's reversed.

I Disappear ~ Raleigh Hill
When I see you I don’t see you,
But I instead see me,
Because to me you are perfection,
You’re all I want to be,
When I go to sleep I do not sleep,
It’s you who keeps me up,
I think about what you’re doing now,
What you’re dreaming of.
When I have fun I don’t have fun,
If it’s not shared with you,
You’re the one that lights my days,
And nothing else will do.
When I cry alone I don’t cry alone,
It’s you who’s by my side,
You do more for me than you’ll ever know,
In you I can confide.
When I fall in love I do not fall far,
For you are always near,
And in your love I’ve found a home,
In you I disappear.

The Best Part of Breaking Up ~ Raleigh Hill
Stay away and don’t come near,
I can not take you over here,
Your presence is like a disease,
You blind me; bring me to my knees,
Further, further, go away,
There you’ll go and there you’ll stay,
And do not think of coming back,
I’ve had enough so end the act,
Rest assured it is your fault,
You’ve pummeled me with your assault,
And I think I’ve had enough,
When war becomes of what was love,
It’s not supposed to be like this,
But let’s not stop and reminisce,
Please just go and make it fast,
It seems I’ve made my mind at last,
I wish you luck, I do the best,
It just won’t work, who would have guessed,
So I think it best we part,
Wait ten minutes and restart!
