The Hatfield’s being a hillbilly crew
A story that we will pursue
The Hatfield’s with their mountain country language phrase
Listening to them talk will sure too amaze
Yet there was a feud between the Hatfield’s and the Knot’s
One might think this could be a plot
At times you can hear echoing from mountain to mountain
Then there are times gun shots
I have been often been asked, “How did the Hatfield’s get their name?
They were a family who worked closely in the cornfield’s and wore hats
The hats were to keep the sun from cooking their heads, now imagine that.
Hatfield’s that had a feud name
But it was the mountains from which they came
Hillbillies being country folks
To some people nothing more than a joke
The Hatfield’s with a temperament to attack
If you poke you better step back
It will be the Hatfield’s gun shots that won’t lack
The Hatfield’s are a family that is a big pack
Their mountain rigid ways sharp as a tack.

15 | Heartbreak in Hatfield

I took the bus from the CBD all the way to Hatfield just to free my mind and receive closure from you.
Let’s vibe out and listen to our favourite songs by Drake and reminisce about the love that we’ll never get back.
How long can I keep holding on when all this pain becomes a reflection of everything that’s bound to go wrong?
Was I not deserving of the kind of love and happiness that I had consistently given to you?
I yearn for a reality worth dreaming about, but lately my heart has been paralysed by doubt.
Time is expensive like a Richard Mille watch but every minute I spent with you was worth it.
When my blue skies fade to grey, I listen to songs by The Weeknd and reminisce about you every single day.
I took the bus from the CBD all the way to Hatfield just to free my mind and receive closure from you.
Now I spend my days listening to sad songs while reminiscing about the love that I’ll never get back.
These words are proof that I’m still recovering from the heartbreak I once felt a while ago in Hatfield.

10 | Heartbreak in Hatfield

You and I are in the same space, but we live in different galaxies.
That’s why we could never get along for extensive periods of time.
After several glasses of wine, I realised that you talk more than I do.
Maybe sometimes pain hurts more when we always choose to ignore it.
I can love you better than him; from eight until late he always calls his ex-girlfriend Kim.
I wonder what you get up to when he’s not there; I wonder what you really know about him.
I never knew that my loving heart could get played like harps and violins do.
The symphony is exquisite, but the pain and the heartbreak are obviously not.
I wonder what you know about everything happening around you while you wander away from me.
I gave you exclusive views to breathtaking galaxies, but you still needed more space like the astronaut lady.
I have fallen in love with my own solitude, but loneliness has taken over every single part of my life.
I’m scared to see who or what I have left behind; these Hatfield streets have become so nostalgic.
